red ink

Still water rushes through veins

Cold wars are raging / this battlefield worn

Soldiers have died / mothers crying

This purple heart torn / black steel sleeves

Broken civilities / the right to be human

Camouflaged by sunburn

 

I am a goddess with no God

Holiness haunts me / tormenting my religion

Hatred taunts me / truth lies in my marrow

 

I am fornicating with freedom / with legions of demons

They tricked me with liberty /  justice for all

I believed the hype / trusted the cheating chase

The police are killing my people

 

I am alone with my pen / stripped down to red ink

Raw
