Facing Death

Death is always waiting for you, every single day
Always in the way, there’s no escape
Police come knocking at your door, a gunmen in the store
A shooter at your school
Waking up in a combat zone, not safe in your home, a threat that’s homegrown
State sanctioned force through violence, safety’s the expense, equates to
consent
Simply a man that holds your fate, blood thirsty with hate
A walking disgrace, no checks in place
They are human beings with flaws, and pain that they cause
Is met with applause
Every single day another life is lost and you do nothing
It trickles down from the top, and endless stream that won’t stop
Inspires fringe behavior, each loss of life your failure
Divide and conquer while we fight, by design
Fuck you for every gunshot, and the militant onslaught
Influences copycats, play with the toys they amass
