Because I am such a light hearted guy
I have died at your hands
I have died at your hands,
embittered and angry.
I believed in the Constitutional words,
you gleefully twisted to your ends.
You claimed the values of Jesus.
You swore on the bible.
I trusted the words to be upheld
By whomever occupied the office.
You represented me.
I do not condone such actions.
Yet there I was, raising a man,
black hooded, by his arms.
I struck him, I shouted at him,
I denied him, I showed him
deaths' door.
Brutalizer, Torturer, Freedom Stealer.
This is what people think of me.
This is how they see me
.
How can I tell them, convince them.
This is not me, this not what I believe.
