Conflict

Tears gather and fall down my cheek

Watching the news any day of the week

The world has gone mad and our future is bleak

Burning it down for the justice we seek

But every cop isn't bad yet each one is blamed

Not every black person deserves to be maimed

Injustice is where our anger should be aimed

But more prejudice form and a new group is framed

The circle of violence is getting so old

Where love for each other isn't easily sold

Hearts filled with grief turn angry and cold

Abuses on each other become the new mold

Is it possible to find a new peace?

When the war on each other seems to only increase

Death and destruction become centerpiece

Now we turn our prejudice towards the police?

Punishing them all for the actions of few

Sounds familiar like something we often go through

We should stop repeating the same history or two

Learn to love one another in a new view

Being judged for the crime we individually commit

Not for other's mistakes that they will emit

The blame game goes nowhere if it doesn't fit

To the hateful among us is our conflict.
