Beware the Brutal Beast
Red droplets on the pavement
Still bodies in the street
The stench of putrefaction
Whenever opposites meet
Ebony and ivory
The contrast oh so stark
The monster claims another
As man’s vision goes dark
The monster crushed his windpipe
And put bullets in her back
Snuffed their lives out like candle flames
Always on the attack
It doesn’t matter who you are
If you catch the monster’s eye
Black, Brown, Beige, White
The beast wants you to die
The monster will ignore your pleas
And focus on your death
It will laugh with its fellow beasts
As you take your final breath
The monster wants to rend your flesh
Your name is on its list
And as for your offense
All you did was simply exist
The beast knows not of peace and love
It knows only death and hate
By the time people come to your aid
It always is too late
When you see the monster coming
With its red-blue flashing eyes
Make peace with your creator
As the beast brings your demise
Red droplets on the pavement
You’ll lie still in the street
The screams and tears of loved ones
Should you and the monster meet
