terrorism...
is in the eye of the beholder
perception, what you think you see
i hear the lies but am unmoved
for i see beyond the bigotry
it's fascinating how so many
can be duped by the devil's guise
propagating his plots and plans
though they do not realize:
a brother jumped by five cops
broadcast the other night
a pilot murdered all his crew
and all who dared to board his flight
a neighbor gunned down three
yet terrorism is not the blame
it seems a white man can't be a terrorist
he's simply "evil" or "insane"
yet is not a rapist still a rapist
though he comes donning a smile??
much like the bias media
using their forums to beguile.
if ALL muslims are terrorists
due to the actions of a few
it should also stand to reason
that the following is true:
ALL catholic priests are pedophiles
using god's name to persuade
as are the passive congregants
who condone their evil ways;
ALL cops are murderers
fascist to the very core
unrelenting with abuses
upon the black men they abhor;
ALL whites are closet racists
who hide behind computer screens
now and then showing true colors;
travon costumes on halloween.
but tell me...
how can you deem someone a terrorist
even those who kill and maim
when for centuries you have thrived
on nothing but the same??
need we recall the trail of tears
or massacre at wounded knee?
or the war you all still honor
against blacks' right to be free?
taino nearly exterminated
a ball of fire dropped on japan
because of you our dear Africa
is now a broken land
yet somehow WE are the culprits??
with your evil none can compare!
some of us do know the Truth
though your minions seem unaware
it would be droll though diabolic
if lives were not at stake
how you twist and spin the web
you bewitchingly perpetrate.
i think you really should be mindful
for truth always does shine through;
the finger in which you judge of others
always leaves three pointing at you!
