Why?

A Poem

Why does racism and hate still exist?

We all are the same on the inside.

Each and every one of us, has grown.

We may have been raised differently with different situations.

We all bleed red, and are human beings.

We are all the same, despite a few physical differences.

Why must people use violence to solve everything?

We praise kids for hitting each other.

We see shootings in school, in stores, in what use to be safe places.

Guns use to be known for hunting and the army.

We can’t let our children out past dark, from fear of predators.

The laws have to be more strict to keep people safe, taking fun away from children.

Why are children so crazy nowadays?

Bullying rates in schools have increased.

Social media revolves around kids doing bad things.

Videos are everywhere of kids disobeying their parents.

We see kids who believe they are entitled to anything whenever they please.

Kids who are growing up cannot get off their phones, and get jobs.

Why must we let society continue in this broken, beaten path? Change it!
