What is a Boy to Do?

A waking nighmare, true to form.

The ones that should care are forlorned

Damned to bend and conform.

What is a boy to do?

The light recedes, darkness fills the void.

Innocence detected and destroyed.

I point out the enemy, but am labeled paranoid.

What is a boy to do?

My brothers die in foreign lands

For reason no one truly understands.

For profits, our children are forever damned.

What is a boy to do?

Homeless solider, helpless brother.

A crying baby holds her doped up mother.

All seek salvation, but no one bothers.

What is a boy to do?

Peace Keepers keep the peace

by keeping freedom out of reach.

'Slavery is independence' is what they teach.

What is a boy to do?

'The color of ones skin reveals the sin within.'

There is so much wrong with that, I don't know where to begin

This thought alone makes me cringe.

What is a boy to do?

Hapless and hopeless I stand alone.

While police brutality is condoned,

I serve time for getting stoned.

What is a boy to do?

We are born into state sanctioned slavery.

With the lie that all are equal and absolutly free.

Can somebody please fucking tell me:

WHAT IS A BOY TO DO?
