WE SEE THROUGH.....

those masks you wear to disguise

that you use to cover your lies

those weapons clear and concise

under the acronym, I.C.E.

as dangerous as the drug

and more vicious than those thugs

dragging rights into the street

DESTROYING THEM UNDER YOUR FEET

going against all that is right

pushing us into a fight

that will scar and deface

ultimate human disgrace

under the guise of defense

building your made up pretense

trading bullets for lives

wearing the flag that still flies

for the brave ones who gave

so that our freedoms would be saved

trampled under those boots

where we have planted our roots

with dark eyes filled with hate

strictly determined by race

one day you will have to answer

for your part in spreading this cancer

killing all humankind

one human being at a time

one day that levy will break

there's only so much we will take
