It's you

They walk our streets
They eat our food
They wear our shoes
They wear our clothes
They attend our schools
They breathe our air
We can't avoid the inevitable
They are here
They aren't leaving
They didn't even invade
They were born here
They are in our homes
They are at the grocery store
They work at the office with us
We constantly look to profile and blame
To criminalize the innocent
But the real criminals are us
We have the problems
We have the issues
We are the ones who cause the hurt and pain
Felt by those who do not deserve it
When will we realize we are our own enemies
Look in the mirror...
You are the terrorist
