Unknowing
We fight
with all our might
to be treated equal
but we just get stuck in another sequel
Our world crumbles
as people only mumble
as people are raped
We try to help but we’re always too late
We’re like ticking time bombs
we kill mobs
instead of having a civil conversation
We make racist remarks without careful contemplation
Hurting others is our superpower
we go to graves and throw flowers
but what did we do when they were here
We didn’t shed a tear
We kick people out on streets
leaving them with no food to eat
We force kids into marriage
because it’s allowed by their parents
We leave foster kids with no home
Forcing them to die alone
Where’s the love and compassion
For people who live ration to ration
We’re crazy
killing babies
because they are not of the stronger sex
We’ll sit and wait excitedly for the next
Escape
To cover our mistakes
We run from the truth
As we try to keep our youth
We’ll inject
To protect from the comments
We’ll take tests and do projects
With knowing
That people are hoping for
A better education
A better life
A better world
