Civil War 2020

 

White people
Fighting White people
About how one sector is treating Black people

Seems that the issues have gotten lost
In the clamor over which side of the conflict is in "the right"

But people still suffering
And crying
And dying

In their beds
On their couches
Lying handcuffed in the street

Dylan Roof killed 9 in a church
Nothing happened

But now that a White kid
Killed two White men
In Wisconsin
Over protests of excessive force
Watch what happens now

This brings echoes of Kent State
Cuz wartime drafting became a thing of the past once those White kids started dying

Perhaps
We only do feel the rain once it falls upon our own heads

Hope something positive happens soon

Cuz that sheriff in Kenosha seems to be a full reincarnation of unrepentant Big Bull Connor

And that
Is some truly scary Shit
