Analysis of The Enemy’s Song



Only God, can bring unity.
For every country, state, and community.

No mortal man can heal, division and tension.
Only God can, as I previously mentioned.

The devil would like so much, to cause another civil war.
You can hear the sound, of an uproar.

I thought we settled racial disputes, discriminations, and persecutions, decades ago, but apparently the devil doesn't think so.

I know there are still, racial biases today.
And it is evil and a sin, I do have to say.

I know that injustice, still takes place.
And it is a downright, disgrace.
Every creed, every color; we're all bought with God's Grace.

I do condemn racism, I do not condone.
What you are facing, you don't walk alone.

Don't single out all law enforcement, because of only a few. Not all cops kill innocent civilians, you know this is true.

Don't label a whole nation as racist, it's completely wrong. Quit listening, to the enemy's song.

He comes only to steal, kill and destroy. - John 10:10
He is the thief, that steals our joy.
