Wrong Blade

A razors edge cuts we all bleed the same color

Fuckers have it backwards
in this country

When hard work and sweat
can't pay the bills
dental, medical, home, food

Terrorist's, white collar crooks,
rapist's and murders
get 3 squares
warm cell
and if death
by soft needle injection

Fuckers

...And WE!

Pay for this crap!

Our own brothers and sisters
be us white, black or other
yeah the other side of Right
is Wrong calling out
in the name of racist

Fuckers

Serve with arms a guy of any color
who saves your ass in fire
and call them racist

A black American mutt
like me
a saltine cracker
A light brown first generation
Mexican American who serves
his new home country
unlike a brother
who races across lines
illegally

All like me
black, Mexican, Swedish.
and french Canadian

We are Americans
intermingled
standing on two legs
serving together
honorably

Now call us racist

I get emails
from the boys we once were

In China
one thing we agree on

Hostage negotiation
three requests

Negotiator begins
a pistol is raised
hostage situation
under contol

Fuckers have it backwards
in this country ...
