Endangered Species

Endangered Species

I can't go to the movies

Lord I am scared to go to church

I don't want to be shot!

While driving don't flip the bird because I can be shot

No respect for humans at any age

Doesn't matter the color of my skin

Doesn't matter if I am a male or a female

I am an endangered specie

I circle my car before leaving

Don't want to be stopped for any traffic violations

Read the paper another is shot

Look on the Internet we're praying for another family

Surf the television channels and news flashes another senseless death

Animals in the zoos are thinking they are safer than the humans

If we aren't locked up

We're shot up

And a tear runs down my face as I say

Lord forgive them for they know not what they do !!!!
