Hate Crime

​It’s seem to be far from 

To turn your back on yourself 

This is what you made 

This is what you are 

And it hurts me 

To think I let this happen 

Rebels are born 

They are not made 

Desperation turns saints into whores 

Words can turn killers into heroes 

And because they hold more power 

We say nothing 

What is  terrorism 

Was it that plane that crashed into the towers 

Was it everything that followed 

Was it that innocent paid for the criminals 

Was it when the swastika was pulled up ?

Or when the Confederate flag was not pulled down ?

Was it when nobody listened 

Nobody listens 

Nobody sees
