Childhood which to me defines
being brought into this world and
not by choice and when old enough to
see, hear and study your examples
you wait for reactions to the actions
of others, watching and mimicking
The constant confusion shoved down our
throats. The Hate spewed in our ears
rich/poor/white/black/stupid/smart
overwhelming our thought processors
Such an early age, so much confusion.
A TV filled with “NEWS” of pains and
sorrows worldwide, everyone sits and watches
the world crumble and as long as it
doesnt apply to them it is
just a conversation piece
Our Houses which do not feel like Homes
DRUNKS teaching you manners
at an evening dinner table
the hypocrisies and contradictions
Everyone coming to their own
versions of realities and religions built to suit
their norms and comfort zones…
I thought this country was called
The “UNITED” States of America?
it don’t feel united or even fair
Racism is still in full effect
but deflected with expertise
by manipulations built on
insecurities and stupidities
sometimes stupidity is a choice
because you don’t have to look
outside the box…
being racist at one’s own “convenience”
merciful when it suits the timing
and playing to a select crowd
A person screaming about whom
and what are abominations as
they lead a double life and creep
into their child’s rooms at night
I am so tired of trying to get a better view
a sense of self, love, and humanity
while I see the hate and confusion
and bitterness spreading like cancer
I will not give up because I refuse to
believe this is all that life has to offer
