A silence that is loud
A dark void from the body of black flesh
Blackholes filled with bodies of police victims
Control over the chains of constant pain
Darkness flooding over the sun
Even the strongest dead
Flooding and flooding
Gapping holes of bullet wounds
Hope that is now dead
Icy cold eyes looking over the dead
Juicy red liquid oozing from the cavities
Killing of my brothers and sisters
Looking for the help that doesn't come
Murder Murder here you come
Never ending cries of souls
Open caskets of the taken
Popping sounds of the guns
Quick feet like the ancestors
Running for a life that will be taken
Sirens that seal your fate
Tired of fighting, tired of running, tired of crying
Unrepresented voices that are loud
Violence not by us but by them
White police officers mistaking guns for hairbrushes
Xenogenic predispostion for dying
Yelling for you to stop, Begging for you to stop
Zooming into the future for the light to shine
