I am blinded by your opinions
unwilling to see
maybe even unable because of whom you are to me

All is dark when you speak
my ears can hear every word you spout out
But I do not recognize your speech

Foreign is your tongue and nameless is the cause
that is beaten by your drums
No rhyme can be found and timing is not even around

The more you speak the more I laugh
the tower of babble stands before you now
the holocaust drowns your words

You are a speaker of hate
A liar beyond my taste
You are every human’s disgrace

You are a racist
evil in your ways
hating hurting

that is your game
I care not to bare your shame
so do not preach to me with your cruel words

I am blind to your kind
deaf to your cries
I will not be burden with hate and lies
