But castles are known for their walls
To keep the invaders out
American castles - homes they are called
Keep their occupants in.
Bullets pass through walls
And flesh
And bones
And hearts and minds.
They maim
And murder
And destroy thoughts and reason and morality and society...
I heard the shots at the station that day
While sitting in my castle.
The killmonger killed
The politicians politicked
The cops copped
And nothing changed, as it never does.
I left my castle
And went for a walk.
