Let the whole world come undone

in #freewrite5 years ago

As I sit down and type these words
I got to admit, it all fails me

it seems like the whole world is turn upside down
and it all feels like WTF are we doing!?!?
WHO I AM, WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?
let the whole world come undone

for the last time, this shit has to end
with my brown skin, I feel the sorrow
deep down in my soul, having visions
of guns drawn on me by the hands of the man

for the last time, this shit has to end
we have all heard these words before
again and again and again
we all know the truth

for the last time, I don't want to hear
that shit anymore, those words never mattered

it's the cuffs on my hands that cut the wrist
it's the cop's knee that snuff out the breath
it's the silence that set the spirit a flame

so call up the police, I'll take a lease on my life
because I remember the words that were told to me
Call the police! 'cause I'm about to bust loose.
Protect ya neck, 'cause, son, I'm breaking out of my noose.

for the last time, children of the night,
you exist for the same thing the sun shines for

hold your head high 'cause you belong
to the skies, you are born of the stars
never forget your luminescence

restlessness, breathlessness
I'm surrounded, I surrender
on bended knee, for the last time
