I wrote this around the time Megan Williams was brutally attacked but I only had it over on my MySpace. It’s kind of heavy so to all the light weights, beware. Here it is…again…enjoy!

–

I couldn’t believe they had tortured her body
Tried to destroy her soul
My stomach felt sick
Thinking how could they do this
And my hands got way too cold
I wanted to cry for her pain
Lord knows that it was there
When they cursed her out saying
She deserved it while pulling out her nigger hair
This shit ain’t fair
But it never was
Hating our existence
All just because
the colour of our skin was just too dark
And from that moment on our bodies were marked
Our lips were too fat, our backs too strong
It just didn’t seem natural
With us something had to be wrong
God must have fucked up when he made us right?
Because civilized beings could not be born with eyes so bright
A thousand deaths and not one “we’re sorry”
And when they get the perfect chance
Their backs are turned
Are you feeling justified?
Hardly
But it’s 2007 and still she was branded
An animal with no rights
America’s been caught red handed
But still we must fight for the brutality and anguish
A million tears and one wish
That has yet to be granted
I wanted to cry
As I wondered why
They could so easily
Abuse her knowing that
It could have very well been me

That’s my word.
Peace
