The Killing Knee


Yet those doubting clear violence

Have they no moral empathy
To suggest atrocities are justified?

Do they see any errors
In the analytical obvious judgment?
Hatred never possesses an alibi

No defense for brutal killing
Based on the outside coating
Surfaces lie as do colors
Yet they're not blind enough

You slaughtered, you deserve hell
Let equality give you that
Bringing you what supremacy despises
What you wish never occurred
Happening as eyes are opened
