The Domestic War

“No one has shown any connection whatsoever between these games and tragic incidents such as Littleton, or to youth violence in general, ... But countless studies have shown a linkage of youth violence to factors such as poverty, lack of parental involvement, family violence, untreated mental illness, the proliferation of guns, substance abuse and illegal drug wars.”--Don Tapscott

just another genocide
created by self-destructive minorities
guns are like their white picket fences
part of our neighborhoods
but the red body of water
flowing down our streets
is just the latest decor in the hood
and the stain left behind
is just the paving the government
won't pay for
the body bags are in demand
while education isn't part of our supply
just another dead nigga,
another spic
another number for the statistic
while many roam the streets,
meeting their dealer,
society sits back
and lets our race erase
not by their hands
but the colored hands
that made our people strong
the very same hands that have us living wrong
taking our own lives
collateral damage
so metal scraps,
have undone our progress
we are living in the domestic war,
and we won't survive

Violence is running amok in our society today, and the inner-cities have become a graveyard where the living are constant visitors, and the dead seem to be the permanent residents.

I am tired of relatives, friends, friends of friends, and people in my City killing one another, and tired of the lack of involvement from local police. The madness must end, and the love needs to begin.

The government is suppose to service it's countrymen and women, well I need service, my neighborhood needs service, and life should be given a fair chance- for every human being.

We're so preoccupied with the violence overseas that are killing our troops and many others, that we're forgetting the violence threatening our homeland security. Right here, on our domestic front, guns, violence and hatred is running rapid and taking countless of lives. When will we say "ENOUGH" and put an end to the silent war happening on our soil?

This domestic war has taken thousands of lives, but what do we say about that? "Just another nigga, another spic- let those people kill themselves."-- we need to end the wars overseas, and the war right here, in the great United States of America, the home of the free, brave, and casualties.
