Scars

I thought I was 
Done with poetry 
But I had to come back 
Like the scars 
You can't let go 
So I gotta get deep 
Like the guns 
You use to kill 
And your scars 
Remain the truth 
Because the people of ignorance 
Failed to be the change 
And happiness to some 
Is nothing but a scar 
Faith to some 
Is nothing but a scar 
Love, trust, forgiveness 
And loyalty is 
Nothing but a scar to some 
So we reject the 
Healing of the unknown 
Cause of our scars 
Most of us didn't appreciate life 
Until a black man
Ran for president 
But it didn't 
Take away our scars 
Beacaue the police still kill 
And we the people 
Still kill one another 
So our scars remain 
The alcohol on which 
We won't pour out
Then you have some believing 
That you have to be 
Handsome & pretty 
Just to inspire people 
So our scars remain 
The alcohol on which
We won't pour out 
Donald Trump has given 
Some people scars 
Cause people don't care to vote 
Already believing that 
It's too late 
Why run to another country 
It won't erase our scars 
So we bleed 
From chains of fear 
When will the race war end 
It will end once we stop 
Blaiming the system 
So our scars remain
The alcohol on which
We won't pour out 
But for some 
Their scars became a scab 
When they gave their soul 
Just to have 
The power of money 
So they can promote homosexuality 
So our scars remain 
The alcohol on which 
We won't pour out 
You say you
Ready for change 
Then why do most of us 
Still sleep with
The devils drank 
In our hand
