What a tragic world we live in,
Where people pretend and call themselves a Godsend,
Corrupted governments and crooked politicians,
Who care more about their bank account,
Than a body count,
There is so much strife in the land,
And no one seems to have a plan,
The harsh reality is you can’t just live free,
So much confusion,
Yet no solution,
People are quick to point a finger as to who gets the blame,
But things just remain the same,
Whites judge Blacks, Blacks judge Whites,
Blacks judge Blacks,
Everyone judging everyone else,
We as a nation need HELP,
Everyone would rather be an enemy than a friend,
In this country so controlled by brainwashing cerebrums,
To be prolific and gifted is really considered stupid and dumb,
In our own communities and environments,
People kill and steal and then lament,
So much hate in the land of the free Home of the Brave,
Cigarettes, drugs, sex, $$ and alcohol seem to be all we crave,
Where do we draw the line?
We need to unite together,
Now is the time
