too close to home

the war tactics used in your hometowns today have been waged on people across the earth countless amount of times

they separated families of slaves and native americans, now they separate families of immigrants and palestinians

hundreds of thousands of venezuelans and cubans have died bc of us imposed sanctions on medicine, now insurance companies are blockading medicine for americans through upped prices

isr@el and the us have used food as a weapon in palestine, now the us is using food as a weapon here

when history repeats itself, whose fault will it be?

and where will the culture live if they uproot all the trees?

only when they come for you, will you care?

prove to the world that your heart will tare

for people of the world, not just people of your color

or watch the sky fall and the land become duller

bare witness to the blood spilled on your own concrete

‘cause you didn’t care for last breaths on the other side of the street

when their hatred and oppression creeps, who will you call?

because you made the community that would’ve fought for you, fall

only when they come for your children, will you see?

that we aren’t meant to live like this, whose deserving, only the bourgeoisie?
