the world seems quieter
waking up this morning
why aren't there more rioters?
maybe this is the warning
what an eerie feeling
how can this feel more dystopian
looking up at the ceiling
wanting this to be more utopian
rights of everyone vanish
minorities scared for their lives
i don't want my friends to banish
the results felt like stabbing knives
will i live to see another day?
years of progress down the drain
"nothing will happen" they say
what is there left to gain?
