Info


You call this nation secular , where discrimination isn't blurred.

They be lynching minorities everyday ,

And using taxes from your pay to propagate this hate and building statues while people are dying in a stampede.

They got same old tools;

Call them anti nationals and frame them as goons.

Either you fall to this trap or they make your words appear as crap.

Now slurred , you'll be silent soon.

Look they killed one of us

Who is us and did he belong to my race?

Just then , just then ,you slapped on your face.

When I look around , I see people blinded by the state , accepting this suffering as part of their fate .

It's okay to be born poor and harassed ;

It's okay to be supressed by a higher class.

Once Ambitious souls, now reduced to lifeless mass ;

Killed for "allegedly" killing someone who ate grass.

How dare you kill my God ?

...But aren't we all children of the omnipresent divine .

Haha! your Gods are inferior than mine whom I created to justify every crime.

And he himself told me that your mere existence is an ominous sign.

Gods reduced to stones and stones reduced heaven to hell.

I no longer feel any pride that make my chest swell;

I no longer feel any pride that make my chest swell .
