Colors That Bleed

Every day I see
Faces of the deceased
The past still haunts me

A clouded history
Painted before me
Colors that still bleed

We all play our part
Blackens my soul to know that I
Help every day institutionalize
And benefit while I decry
Naïveté threatens all of our lives

Stop and listen closely
Turn on any TV
Built into everything

In school it's what we're learning
White washing keeps it turning
The victor's rewording

It never ends
We do as we are asigned
Into a single file line
Our hands are bound behind
Turn on each other and don't question the design

We all play our part
Blackens my soul to know that I
Help every day institutionalize
And benefit while I decry
Naïveté is a coward's disguise
