Sense of Urgency

Come at me wearing white sheets
I'll turn them into red rags
Then I'll add a little blue to them
To resemble the American flag

I'm sick and tired of murderous cops
Folks keep claiming they're not all bad
Without repercussions this with never stop
My emotions are fluctuating from mad to sad

Looked into the eyes of a man today
I observed as they filled with tears
He told me he's losing hope and faith
And I had no encouragement to give

He needed to hear something to give him hope
I couldn't give it because I've too lost mines
There was nothing I could say to help him cope
All I can offer is what you read line by line

This is self therapy for things that be hurting me
Expressing how I feel in hopes that it also helps others
Things need to quickly change with a sense of urgency
I'm tired of constantly losing my sisters and brothers
