Why I Cry

When there's no colour, I get the blues
Seeing power with no morals -
Beware of the water
Hearing racist blurbs on talk radio
while the war goes on
Another brother killed by authority 
with no consequences other than a pay check
City money for stadiums but not to feed the poor
The bullying in social media
Gossiping to destroy any character she had left
Succumbing to lust over love -
The death of loyalty
When there's no colour, I get the blues
