Not Me

They aren't blind despite pretending to be

They aren't deaf although they're numb

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist"

Just ignore like we do

Pretend till the world explodes

Then pretend you didn't cause it

Trends spread worldwide in a flash

Hashtags with tear stained characters

They were so brave and so loved

A good thing lost to the world but not our fault

It's never our fault no

Just faulty wiring 

I can't be this, I can't be that

I victimize the victim's rise

How dare they say I'm wrong

I didn't make anyone do anything

They're jumping to conclusions

While jumping off bridges

Opinions written and spoken in hush

Videos to disprove

Evidence made to make us lose

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't exist"

But then an exchange

Perhaps a change

Bullets for revenge

Bullets for hate

A bullet for color

A bullet for faith

Rainbow vendetta 

Red painted walls

Dampened poinsetta

Echoing halls

Not my fault 

What could I do

But maybe the hate

Could end with you
