Purple Flames

Don't you know
every stone you throw
is a strike against you?
That with a stroke of a pen
they can legally stain you
They can silence you forever.
For they don't want to see you educated.
They much rather have you barricaded.
Enslaved.
Why you think they let the stores get looted?
instead of coming to their aid?
yes, you were masked
but if your moms could recognize you
so could they.
To them its just a waiting game
and you're they prey.
The more people get vandalized
the more they will hate.
Hate will move through entire neighborhoods
never leaving their gates
And it will only become stronger with age.
The fed up will rage
the streets will explode once again.
And the man
will recline back in his chair
and say "My, look at those beautiful flames."
