HERE WE ARE
Is the decision fair?
I don’t think so
We’ve been let down before
Yet, here we are
They argue well
Their denial deep-seated
Their excuses repeated
How they’ve been mistreated
Their privilege defeated
Yet, here we are
Is their fear innate?
I don't know
Our hearts have sunk before
Yet, here we are
They come and go
Their supremacy weakening
Their ignorance leaking
Their incompetence blaring
Their weary eyes staring
Yet, here we are
Is the calm for real?
I think so
Our prayers have never slowed
And here we are
They never know
Why their riches won't soothe them
Why their schemes fail, and bruise them
Why their bigotry mars them
Why their racism scars them
Yet, here we are
Is the threat a game?
Maybe so
It is-- until they're caught
And there they are
Their remorse spilling
Their backstories chilling
Their excuses, abundant
Their anger, redundant
But here we are
And here, we will remain
