If you stay quiet, they might ignore you,
Even if you’re white; this new holy order
Parading flawed martyrs like Floyd
Yet condemn you if you fly the American flag
Madness filling the streets of Portland
Or Seattle or St. Louis
With smoke and curses
In the pretense of social justice
They really mean as revenge
Crushing us in their greedy fingers
As they pound the walls of law
They intend to topple
As we stare down at the terror
from the windows of the
upper floors
stunned by the horror of humankind,
black faces and white faces
smothered in black masks
a new kind of KKK looking for
white people they can lynch,
caught in the frenzy
of their own misguided philosophies
as racist as the racists they hunt
black supremacists rather than white
looking for answers nobody can give
