Oppression
Opinions versus offenses but every one of us is different
Oppression without any confession, due to the certain privilege of some individuals
The voice of one is more prominent over the tears cried by the opposite
Skin Color.
You have never experienced racism, and it is your favorite thing to argue?
But you have never had to fear how someone may harm you.
“Not all cops.” “Not all white people.” are racist
This is something that people are quick to jump to, let’s face it
Then the part of trust is drawn
And no allies part is won
“Not every young black boy walking down the street is a thug”
Now you’re looked at like you are crazy
You are a white cop and get called on a mission to go to an abusive house
But when you get inside everyone there is quiet as a mouse
You see the mother laying there on the floor and right about that time a little boy walks out a door
He walks right over to you, his hands held high
Looking at you but not meeting the eye, then you hear him whimper and fall to his knees
You hear him say something, oh wait no, it was a plead
“Please don’t kill me” you heard him say
You would think about that every single day
What about the mother you fear to think
Living the way, she lives her life must be really discreet
I am the mother, the one that was laying on the floor
I had to deal with him another time before
16, 15, 12, and 4
People did dreadful stuff to me and so much more
Being scared to go outside during the night
Why can’t a woman ever do anything right?
He creates your fear and uses your instinct of physical freedom to control you
And after that happens once you no longer have someone you can turn to
You learn to anticipate his next strike
Always ready for a fight
But you can’t fight him no, never
A fight against yourself to somehow learn to do better
This affects us all and all of us know it
but don’t forget
you’re the odd one out
if you ever
show
it
But how does this affect everyone all the same?
The truth is there will always be someone to blame
And the person to blame always goes from one to another
So so bad to where we all… hate each other
Then comes the peaceful unpeaceful injustice
Until we all end up in the peaceful unpeaceful hospice
