White Youth

I've been trying to keep to my harbor And out of the waves I've been trying to keep to my harbor And out of the waves It's time to be honest And face the truth Nine people are dead Because of a white youth He didn't act alone And there's some logic in it Dogs cross the road And rarely get hit Some breast milk is vile Some sperm shouldn't shoot You say, "It's not our fault!" But there's a problem underfoot It's found in the chat rooms It's found in the homes It buys up the guns It picks at the bones It rattles the cages It kills the bird It riles the ego It likes to be heard So, what can we do When laws circumvent The death of a nation? Destroyers hellbent: Who vote at the polls Who elect pervert trolls Who sit at the table Who fill all the roles I've been trying to keep to my harbor And out of the waves But the ocean is rising The ground, and the graves
