Captivity

Tue, 09/24/2013 - 19:40 -- hihats8

My people stalk and talk

Bear arms because they fear 2 c true equality

I cannot stare and dare to bear this captivity

I’ll shred and dread in this ignorance

But my race was once thought of as a significance

Kings and queens

Hollering about my race was just a misunderstood interference

Where we once roamed and spoke about no segregation

Guns and treason were brought back because we sought out to reason

But now I realize how unpeaceful this reality really is

My people stalk and talk

Bear arms because they fear 2 c true equality

4 I’d sacrifice my life

For the fascination of cultivating the lives and minds of my people
