Injustice in Society


I saw the news and it cant be, The cops choked out Eric garner when he said he can't breathe, They get suspended with pay after a killing spree, I'll always make a stand that's why I take a knee, This country got a corrupt system, How they shoot the blacks and get off with no conviction, Got shot in the car with his family with him, RIP Philando Castile I know they still miss him, They said there's good and bad in every color, Then why is our murders the only one they try to covered, They took Trayvon Martin from his own mother, They didn't give a fuck about the grief that she was under, Recently they shot a 12 year old kid, Thinking no one saw them but the man upstairs did, Paying his family a million dollar suit like it's a bid, Tryna convince us it's not racism but we know it is, They tell us to stop playing victim and get past it, How if police brutality and racism is still happening, Society wants us to play a role and now they're casting, If I stay silent to injustice what will that bring,
