8:46

Let's say the world began with Adam and Eve, from day one they planted a seed
Sins and thieves, punished for misdeeds
But from the corrupted actions of one
Positivity sprung, humanity jumped into being
Gradually spreading their wings, enveloping the earth with a powerful species
You may not agree but it's the earliest I traced any spirituality
In the story we see no inequality, no privilege for skin colour, our status of being
Gods child smited for acting against his will, justice laid although he's all forgiving
An act of chastisement led to the arising of a body with a powerful, steadfast face, what I call the human race
Laced with gems within, that no others can show case, virtues thats reflecting gods grace
But we're failing to understand as we're tearing down each other
Harming each other's sisters and brothers
Cast out depending on our beliefs or colour, held down based on our voice that spurs love
While cursed ones want to reverse us so we look like a farce to benefit their own wants
Without caring about the costs or the loss occurring to our lot
My hypothesis, regardless of your beliefs, is that we think we're hiding from God while dealing with the snake
To chase our forbidden desires and catch our big break, racism and prejudice, our selfish mistake
Over years people forgot why they were created
To love all who may cross their path, support their brethren
We created systems for the good of all, but they've have been corrupted by the egos of those in charge
They all must fall, they all must fall

Governments that no longer prioritise needful
The law which rules with an iron fist and hurts those involved
Religion that worship love but exclude outside their circle
Police that use brutality to hold their metaphoric knee over the necks of the disadvantaged people
Police that use brutality to hold their metaphoric knee over the necks of the disadvantaged people

429 US cases of police brutality, people shot and killed by people with no humanity
858 if we double that, only halfway through the year, terrifying to think of that
9 religions, Taoism, agnostics and atheists, all belief systems that have the power to spread love to their kin
If you take this from the above, then you get 8:46
The time it took for the world to realise we need to close this racial split
