A Plea For Power - Our Skin Has Become Weaponized

You try to deny it
The weaponizing fear of my skin
I cannot whistle

Or walk within the same space as
Them

You try to deny it even exists

While you live in a state of
Privilege

You say that I cannot be
Oppressed

While you enjoy a state of
Privilege

That I can't see
When we're murdered
By those that we pay to protect
And instead of standing with us
You stand behind a flag

Instead of pledging your
Allegiance

To the people
You have pledged your allegiance
To a
Piece of fabric
Burn to the ground
I'm tired of seeing denial
At the very simple fact
Division created to aid

Those who say that it doesn't
Fucking exist

I'm tired of living
As if I'm under
You're fucking heel
I'm tired of living
For a world that doesn't
Live for me
What do you see
When you look at me
What do you see
When you look at me
Keep the truth on your tongue

Like you keep it inside of your
Mind

My skin has become weaponized
What do you see
When you're looking at me
What do you see
Our skin has become weaponized
What do you see
When you're looking
