Justice Not Being Served

I’m angry
I’m hurt
I’m pissed
I’m scared
I’m tired
Yet I’m numb
All of these emotions balled up into one

I’m fuming on the outside
From burning on the inside
A growing, uncontrolled ball of rage
Ready to be unleashed from this cage

I’m on the verge of eruption
Fucking tired of this corruption
Tired of justice not being served
Of our voices not being heard

I’m tired of our people always being treated wrong
We could only keep the peace for so long
We’ve been peaceful and silent for years
While drowning in our own tears

After he killed, murdered, lynched that man
We knew we had to take a stand
We were left with no other choice
Now anger has become our new voice

Our anger speaks loud
Our anger draws frustrated crowds
So if we have to riot to stand up for equal rights
Then so be it… this is a war we are ready to fight
