7 Bullets

 7 Bullets

Walking to a better life

Job and home

Family and friends

Who like who you are

You see, in your face and your heart

Injustice in the streets

And what you get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

There is race war

We all want it to stop

Give peace and respect and love

To everyone

No matter who they are

And what you get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

Overriches burning down the Earth

Cutting tres

Killing birds

Plasting the oceans

You protest

And what you get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

You look around

And see

A crazy clown

Pretending presidential to be

An evil ”cop” gives you the bad eye

And angrily gives the word 

”What you are looking at?”

Watch out or you will get,

Seven bullets in your back

 

You really do not like to fight

But

Want children to be free

Have whatever life

They want to have

A future with no racism

A well deserved peace 

But

This is what you get

Seven bullets in your back!
