Injustice
I'm a purple giraffe
 A pen without ink
 A bed full of bedbugs
 An old broken sink
 Nothing more than an outcast
 Left alone and bewildered
 And they say to outlast
 Injustice without filter
 Glares pierce my smile
 Thoughts send me to Hell
 And it will be awhile
 Before pure justice can rebel
 But sometimes it hides
 Behind stacks of fake smiles
 And it anxiously resides
 With lies dripping with bile
 So injustice still reaps
 Pounding fists in my face
 Showing me how they keep
 Thoughts not only of race
 But sexuality too
 And numerous on religion
 And to each they coo
 In disapproving precision
 Yes, injustice is here
 Right in plain sight
 Standing without fear
 Like a star in the night
 They gleam so bright
 Yet you don't notice just the one
 You fill your eyes with the light
 From the stars all in sum
 And to see the moon
 Justice; the crescent
 We must act soon
 To change the present
 Listen to Luther’s chat
 "Hate cannot drive out hate,
 Only love can do that."
 So we must open this gate
 To cure the hatred among us all
 Let our love go free
 Pounding injustice; making it fall
 So we can just be
 So we can live
 Live in peace.
