World Around Me

the world is not ours

we step all over it like it is though

implodes an inferno

of ash and rain

never to be the same again

color coded

our labels folded

we're pinned up and examined

when our hearts are broken

we cover it

dealing with other people's shit

or with our indecent president

only causing more damages

never glancing towards the innocent blaming other countries and

we act like we're not all immigrants

I don't know where my standing is

I don't know why Trump's planning this

or acting like the planet's his

in this world white is right

minorities lacking privileges

it doesn't help by dismissing it

this is the future we'll grow up in

leaders only over throwing it

I'm a pacifist who'll let things slide

but I'll make a fist when no one's by my side

wish labels were gone

wish we'd support one another

wish I didn't hear on the news that "so-and-so" shot their brother

this is not our culture

don't you understand this?

what you see right now is a worldwide epidemic

get attacked because you're black

no sympathy for the LGBT

giving bad vibes to the word diversity burning down family trees

judging those close to me

people contemplating suicide

people wanting to cry and hide

people who don't even go outside

cause they're scared of the world around them
