House

In Justice

Houses

A roof over our heads,

A warmth, that leads to comfortability, to stableness, to love

A love that brings us together, a wholeness, belonging

A corrupt system,

That is,

Justice

I need this

You need this

But do we have it?

This injustice kills all

Whether to live in a safe place, or whether you can afford it

A home is a home you can be free in

A corrupt system,

That is,

Justice

It doesn't matter what color you are

Black, Brown, White

Whether you are rich or poor

This injustice kills all

Justice

Equality

But it's a lie

As this injustice kills all

Justice

What the whole world talks about having

In reality there's no equality

As we've seen throughout the years

This injustice kills all

This injustice kills all

Ethnicities are favored

When a white man kills, it’s okay

When a colored man kills, it’s not okay

When a colored man talks to a white man, it’s wrong

When a white man talks to a colored man, it’s right

Is it right? Is it okay? Is the law we choose to obey, righteous? Is it wrong?

But if it’s wrong, why do we accept it?

Are we blinded by the inequality of the laws?

There's no equality

The whites are favored but the colored are abused and tortured

This justice does not exist

This so called justice is not equal

This so called justice has been altered, altered to favor those who look like the people who write the laws, but those who don't are slaves, they are poor; they are of color and are treated as if they were animals

They get no help

They get scared

This is not justice, this is not what we want, but this is what we get

Tell me, are we not equal because of our color differences, because we all speak differently, because we all have different cultures, different customs, different beliefs?

Aren't we supposed to be different?

Isn't this why we are unique?

But we don't accept it, it’s a shame, unfortunately I'm right, this injustice kills all
