Slaughtered By Society

If words could kill, we'd all be dead...

Kill me if I’m wrong, kill me if I’m right

Kill me if my eyes aren’t yours and they see different sights

Kill me if I don’t, kill me if I do

Kill me if I’m opposite and not the same as you

Kill me for my age, kill me for my youth

Kill me for my voice that isn’t scared to speak the truth

Kill me for my culture, kill me for my origin

Kill me for my race, for the complexion of my skin

Kill me for my DNA, for what I am within

Kill me cause I suffer as a slave to different sin

Kill me for my appetite, kill me for what I eat

Cause I’m a vegetarian or like to swallow meat

Kill me if I’m curvy, or if I’m really small

Kill me as an embryo, if I’m not born at all

Kill me for possession, for the treasures you’ll receive

Kill me for religion, for the things that I believe

Kill me for appearances and for the clothes I wear

Kill me for the color and the texture of my hair

Kill me when I love and kill me when I choose to hate

Or in the name of science, I refuse to vaccinate

Kill me for my ignorance, or cause I choose to see

Kill me for my flaws and for my insecurity

Kill me for my intellect or disability

Kill me for almost any single thing that makes me me

Kill me cause you don’t agree with anything I said

Doesn’t matter what I do, cause either way, I’m dead…
