Society

A Poem

You know what sucks about society is that it's a bitch, it tells you thing and then does another definitely a definition of a hypocrite,

It tells you that you are beautiful the way you are as long as you are their definition of who you are,

Society wonders why you are the way you are, tells you to change your hair, face, body and heart and they still tear you apart

You see Society and the media, get you obsessed with the new iphones or any new phone so we can walk around looking like clones

Worrying about hobby lobby's cotton in a jar

While in hot cars sit our sons and daughters and flint Michigan still doesn't have clean water.

People want to make america great again, but everything that needs to be fixed disappears again and talks of war descend and our president goes on a twitter binge

I guess he thinks that will make America great again. Did you know that 83% of bullying goes unnoticed,

Did you know that suicide is the 7th leading cause of death for men, the 16th leading cause of death for women,

the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15 to 24 and the third leading cause of death for young kids ages 10 to 14

And yet it goes unseen, we swept it under the rug because we are so afraid to step on any toes or hurt anybody feelings

To fix a problem that is needing, America we need to step up and realize that this is not right, it's not even safe with your doors locked at night.

Something has to change, it's time we see the light and realize sitting on our asses is not gonna make everything right.

We are so busy judging color to remember about the hearts one another. These our are sisters and brothers we are tearing apart

Because we are listening to what the media start that we forget that we all bleed the same color, our hearts all pump to the same beat of the same drum we hear in one another.

So stop the screaming and the yelling the burning and the shooting and the hurting.

You want to change the world then start by shutting your mouth and opening your eyes and taking the time to realize that we are not a nation of black or white or Hispanic or Muslim or any other races I may have missed

We are a nation of humans sealed with amazing grace and a kiss.
