Dominated by white
Dressed in blue
Black is apparently red
Targets for police to shoot them dead
BANG BANG
Triggers pulled
Guns fired
Welcome to America
White privilege rules
Oppressed by the white
Brutal treatment from the blue
Colorful people seen red
America waves in white blue and red
Searching to be free
We are always locked down to some degree
Seen as the
Land of opportunity
Now drowned in negativity
Too depressed to find happiness
World is so negative
Why don’t we just breathe
Take a moment and see
The structure of society
Here in America
The government
The police
They will never hear the voices on the streets
We are so oppressed
Our protests are silenced
Broadcasted on TV
They only see the emotion of frustration
The fight for justification is
Lost in oppression
Dark times
Black and white world
Change will happen
Color will bloom
We are something beautiful
We must not forget
Color does not fade
Combine with each other and
Unique is made
Creative in mind
Full of passion at heart
Just like color
We can work together
Create something new
Something for the better
We need to stop living in the black and white
Instead become the red like fire
Burn away the darkness of hate
Bring in the light of art
The voices in poems
The paintings colored with words
The passion in the silenced
Brings out the messages
The government has not heard
Ignite the fire in art
It will create a spark
The sun will set
The dark will come
Yet we will never forget
How bright it was
How bright it could be
Here in the dark world
We breathe
Become like colors
We shine
With art
They will see
Every color in me
