Shouts, Screams, Thunder, and Roars
All hidden behind unopened doors
Lies, Betrayal, Beaten, and Broke
Buried beneath the ash in the smoke

It is the yellow stars that fall upon me
It is the bruises that have been formed
The blood that has been lost

“You are just a piece of trash,”… said the white guy to the black.
(you actually are just like me, but I need to feel superior)
