Offense (pt. 1)
Offense (pt. 1) The more fragile we are the more easily we’re hurt The notion of control of offensiveness is merely absurd When you build a fence When you build offense You only fence yourself inside where you’re harmed by simple words The more offended we become the more off ended we’re stirred A world …
RACE
RACE My people are in a race to oblivion! My kind are in a place of self destruction! My kin are oblivious to a solution! My brothers and sisters use race to divide, The problem is not race- The problem is space- The one between the ears of my kin, And eyes that can’t see …
