Will you turn away?
When the last domino before yours falls.
When the oh-so-disposable infantry has returned to the soil,
and the smell of strange fruit faintly taints the air.
and the smell of strange fruit faintly taints the air.
Will you turn away?
When your polygonous slates seal your fate?
When the grout of your grit is ground to dust.
When your coddled streets become lonely Sundown Towns.
When the colors of the wind only know One.
Will you turn away?
When ICE’s frost bites.
When your neighbors are torn, limb from limb.
When - nay - if you see the mutilation was
never Ours,
never Ours,
After your Third Eye is gouged by the Fourth Reich.
Will you turn away?
When Spring ceases
to birthe.
to birthe.
When punitive scorn has scorched the Earth.
When the Santa Ana winds only know Red.
When the crimson crusts, from those who bled.
Will you turn away?
When the nightmares become preferable to being Woke?
When the bough breaks, and time Falls.
When your cradles become coffins.
When your mirrors become tombs.
Will you turn away?
Will you turn away?
When turning becomes directionless?
When rotating reminds you all Things come back around?
When your privilege
loses relativity?
loses relativity?
When your domino tips...
Will you turn away?
When quadrilateral movements abstract into a cage?
When you finally realize We were never free?
When they come for
your Free Will?
your Free Will?
Will you..turn away?
When the rigor mortis settles in your
cavernous vessel?
cavernous vessel?
When you know what it is, to attempt breathe, amongst rubble?
When the Sunken Place is where your depth rests?
When you sink so low,
you believe you are Beneath?
When you sink so low,
you believe you are Beneath?
Will you turn away?
Will you turn away?
