to kill a xenophobe
Discussing human rights seems like choking on a mouthful of phrases,
not only because places to start are as vast as this ocean of discrimination and greed,
but because we’re drowning.
And because the crazy capitalist comrades look down with glaring eyes
and blood-covered teeth.
Say hi to all the naysayers with their notches of narcissism in their belt
Those are the hope inhibiting hooligans that will refuse to humbled and stand tougher in harmony to inflict harm on us
Here's a game Mr.s and Ma'ams take a survey to see who has ever been wrongly regulated
for a crime they did not commit due to race, gender,
and to who they choose to be in a relationship.
But in fact, you would receive a road filled with regulars
Human rights should not be a controversial topic yet as I write this I’m experiencing tangled knots throughout my body
attempting to cap off my ever-growing thoughts,
attempting to silence my own voice
attempting to stick with a bastardized status quo.
Do you notice those closeted communities in the halls
or the men that do not have enough balls to understand the word no?
This is just life in a small town
I've been told
as I pick up my tattered and torn dreams and escort myself to be brainwashed by the big business who feed off weaknesses to receive a big bag of bucks each week
And is not just me who endures these endeavors of exasperated enemies
Just ask around kind sir, here everyone who had been called a sickening slur
Don't silence desperate voices and deny them
Don't declare them delinquents
Just say their names and hear their struggle
We beg this of you
Because while it's getting better, the KKK website is open for anyone to sign, hate
crimes happen all the time, and mental health matters are deemed as a crime.
Ladies and gents, step up and take a look at the astral projecting, anorexia answering, abomination of a generation.
We go to different realities to escape the mortality of the sick mentality of our society
That's a fun word society, let me explain it to you dear listener
It stands for socially ostracized critically inclined entity to yearn (for)
That is the invisible monster fellow peers
This is who we need to beat
