A Better World


It seems like everybodies breaking silence,

Instead of peace everybodies promoting violence. 

Destructing the community doesn't make you righteous, 

It only shows that Americans are the souls in need of guidance. 

Looks as though everybodies become mindless, 

Not thinking about what the future holds, don't they know the possibilities are timeless. 

What goes around comes around, crooked cops will end up without their lawful alliance,

By then we'll put an end to all this defiance.

If we do it the right way, pretty soon the police will be under our compliance.

The power of the people, 

Can mend all the injustices but we have to understand that the constitution to the people,

Has proven that not everybodies equal. 

Yet the power of the people, 

Can put an end to another nightmared sequel. 

There will be hurdles, 

There will be trouble, 

There can be circles, 

And there can be a time where we can all live humble. 

This is not just a vision,

It should be the American mission.

Put an incision in all the divisions,

Mend all the collisions, so we can make wiser decisions. 

This is the better world that I envision.
