[ The Neighbor's House ] - Sociopolitical
No Plagiarism!XIb6eAanPDm6dqPI8saQposted on PＥNAＮＡ

[ The Neighbor's House ]665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zW6nZ8vRM

There ain’t no glory in abortion665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsvgXReBx3

Playing with the forceps

Mutilating life

While you’re riding your high horses

The need for reinforcements

Rile up the forces

Just to chuck a Molotov

Upon your neighbor’s doorstep

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kCcTBv0Sq

Watching the inferno

Seeing it as victory

Violence on the innocent

To bloody up your history665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ba4e58d6F

Exalted adulations665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BFQxwLY3q

In protests that mirror bigotry

The symmetry resounding

Your devotions lack validity

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWrROfUlNS

A mock upon equality

All animals amongst the zoo

I watch the circus acts

Giving credit where credit is due

A coat of many colors

In a spectacle for all to view

Until hysteria is lost

Leaving nothing left to pursue

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBbaoMpF4J

Nothing ever changes

You fall straight back into the pits

As a victim in the mindset

And an endless need to bitch665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X7OEmUhVH

Woe the status quo

We always know what we will get665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcSp2p9E1

With hopes so low to cope

You don’t live with any regrets

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz1EbaPFu8

Right back to your masters

Panting like a dog

Drooling over scraps

How so easily you’re bought

Only seeing color

When you’re looking for applause

Only wanting change

When the noose is in a knot

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXCxmQrnYz

Constantly offended

Yet never by yourselves

So no one speaks against you

For your hatred can’t be quelled

With no hope for forgiveness

There’s no need to be compelled

To ever try to save you

For you’ll always live in hell

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5i8tRH4K9

Could have broke the habit

Could have chose to change

Instead you have identified

Where life is not embraced

Sauntering in anguish

Communion with your rage

While the flames dance before you

Outshining your disgrace

665Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGYDvLzpy

Soon your neighbor’s house will crumble

Its embers will turn to ash

And the war within the streets

Will leave its scars in aftermath

Where tensions were misguided

But you didn’t fail to act

And now, where you find your feet

Are but the same old worn paths
