VIOLENCE UPON VIOLENCE
Charlottesville is just one of many places
That blood has been spilled
Fighting with fists and guns
And this is no good for anyone
Its twenty seventeen
And were still dealing with this foolishness
With all the hate and racism in between
When will we see?
That this is no way to be
And no one will get ahead this way
That same noise from day to day
Bursting out unnecessarily
And funneling a blaze
Just to see how fierce it can get
And getting all bent
Completely out of shape
So much violence but no debate
Blood spilled like it’s free
And fun to waste
Peace and respect has gone out the gate
So much pain and suffering
But nobody waits
To do better and try to write
Some new history
Instead keeping up
The same old misery
And a repeat of mysteries
Doing nothing but further traumatizing
What was already committed to memory
This needs to stop now
Today and not later on
So many that never saw home again
From this evil and vile trend
Because they were met with violence
In some shape of form
And the people causing this
Has made this the norm
Moving through this world
As a racist traveler
Causing hurt and harm to others
With tomorrow not on people’s calendars
The answer to all of this
And to one another
Is to increase respect and peace
Not constantly finding more ways
For violence to increase
But rather make it cease
Because this has become
A very rapid and infectious disease
Infecting everyone everyday
Even if you choose to look the other way
The triumph of evil can only continue
If good people stand idly by
And do nothing
For this brings about
Only more problems
Stacking them so up so high
Just making it more difficult
To even solve them
A world in deep trouble
Hurting out loud and with silence
Since we never came from under the rubble
And continuing to just carry on
Violence upon violence
Where writing comes alive
