Triple K
The KKK is a disgrace
Using a mask to hideaway.
Why do you hide your face
If you believe in what you say?
Four little girls in Birmingham-
Innocent, sweet, and kind.
Didn't you even give damn
That shattered families were left behind?
One young boy named Emmitt Till
Tourted, hung, for daring to try
Speaking to a white woman who wanted him killed.
And later amitted her terrible lie.
A horrible moment in our country's past.
Bloody Sunday is how it's known.
People were beaten and tear gassed,
As they lay there and suffered alone.
Later, on a fateful day,
In Memphis, Tennessee,
They shot our leader, MLK,
Who wanted us equal and free.
People fought for our rights.
Still you killed with hate.
Have you come to see the light?
Or, for you, is it too late?

I wrote this to get the worod about how things really were. How you could get killed for lies, hate, and basically for doing anything. It is sick and heart shattering to believe that this really happend in our countries history.
