God Bless America

Vol 0.1

God Bless America

opportunity, that energy slipping,

racism is sleeping dormant,

creeping sneaking in our culture.

America the mixing pot, race is all over,

laced with stereotypes.

heated moments gets the cold shoulder,

? was caught breathing,

heat pulled out his cold shoulder.

The stories the story tellers tell

The kids that's judged based on appearance and how they spell, a name, no a legacy

I want there to not be a death penalty

for skipping a stop sign

Save for true crime and not looking past the white line,

for time talks of these days,

hate molest skin like sunrays

They wanted a lighter sunkissed face

Love was made for everyday so

God bless America and not just on sunday.
