Encouraged to speak, shown every sign. Learned to never waste the time. Taught to have an open. (Mind). . Why give me a heart. When you won't let it beat?.

Again we stand so silent. Act like things are oh so great. In love with thinking that. We've ended racial motivated hate. . But the truth is clear, just look around.
