The first half of the album highlights and critiques the dire situation in which we live. The second half outlines the tremendous opportunity we have to re-imagine and reform our society. This song is an observation and a critique of our culture of death and murder. From actual war zones around the world to our own inner cities where this summer&#8217;s death rates rival war zones. I also address our national hypocrisy regarding violence. We have a zero tolerance policy of violence committed against us, but we&#8217;re a lot more lenient and patient when it comes to the violence we commit. &#8220;A life is a life and a killer is a killer&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/08\/29\/watch-new-music-video-fro_n_1841138.html?utm_hp_ref=arts\" target=\"_blank\">HP<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brother Ali: This is the title track to my new album, Mourning in America and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Brother Ali: This is the title track to my new album, Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color.
