New Ways to Bear Witness |
Violence imposed with max severity |
Plagued by misery we can’t give up the ghost |
When all you know in life is partiality |
You flee so easily from pillar to the post |
We’ll hold the line as beatings grow |
And possibilities of fatalities |
One day those victimized will revolt |
Against a world that views them as less |
Exposing all they know through a lens the stories told |
Viralized with no end |
Silent eyes awake to see official crime |
By those that we rely, deceiving their own kind |
Whispers once low, now they shout what matters most |
Streaming evidence confirms what we have known |
They tow the lies, it’s no surprise |
Dividing us in hopes of disharmony |
One day those victimized will revolt |
Against a world that views them as less |
Exposing all they know |
Through a lens the stories told |
My children live in a different world |
And I hold myself to blame |
As they redefine accountability |
How can I ever know what’s good for you |
When our faces are obscured by a screen |
We need to touch, we need to feel, we need to hear |
Or is it all just a dream |
My children live in a different world |
And I hope it’s not too late |
As they’re taught to love with humility |
