{I looked in the mirror and what did i see? someone who looked like just like me. I looked in their’ mirror and i could not see, the mirror was clouded with hatred for me. I thought I might be mistaken, but it wasn’t a dream, it was all too real and it was not the American dream.

OK, OK; I’m just kidding. I wouldn’t actually want to incite these folks or give them credibility they don’t deserve… but still… It’s a funny response in my mind.

I will cry out louder
silence my voice,
I will find another
make my voice a crime
I will create another

Hunt me down
I will find new places to hide
lock me away
TEN WILL RISE TO TAKE MY PLACE

You cannot silence me
you cannot stop me
for I, and my kind, are forever.

Violent verses in general; those are the only parts of the bible that these people read. If they can read, of course.
