The Change
(poems go here) We've changed. Become so caught up in ourselves we've forgot our values and standards
Disfunctionalized our lives so that we've let our emotions show through anger
Made a vow to take and L(el) so that I's, Y's(why's), and U's(you) don't matter
Ignorance is flattered
While intelligence is a transparent glass society shattered
Letting insults rain down and your mind was the window in which you watched it drop and your ears heard the patter
we've forgot that we look daily at the man in the mirror
yet watch movies where molesters jacksons and the genre labels it as a thriller
im baffled that we now find pleasure in reading about abductions that lead to murders and the convict is the baby sitter
yet it gets sicker
moms invest in strange sex and they fall for offsprings and don't consider it incest
obsessed
by the incense
using no sense
causing one to be past tense
yet the act is considered past tense?
but will be remembered forever by the participants as madness
resorted to finding brotherhood in another hood known as fraternities
where you give up permanent love for temporary joy and end up losing your soul to the darkness for eternity
completely overtaken by swag and outward demeanor we'd compromise our standards for a lack of maturity
assuredly
compromising judgement not caring about what i see we now live in a world where 11 year olds kill just to get high see(hi-c)
settling for mediocrity and middle class that kids get rewarded for making a high d
we've lost our brains so now you can't mind me
back in the day couples on tv didn't use to sleep in the same bed
now what we see is couples offsprings enjoying sex and lifes only concern is getting bread
yet, we do nothing, already been mislead
that we don't look for justice when, two bi-racial individuals go out, one returns and shortly after the other is found dead
we've become mealymouthed, too afraid and unwilling to say directly what we know is right, shameful
as a people we've been degraded by each other while races and its painful
no matter how you sugarcoat it, it's the same disgrace at every angle
we're shackled by defeat(the feet) but it's time we get unchained, django
no matter how much we try to convince ourselves everything is the same
in this game
that we've learned to sustain
our aim
shouldv'e been to loosen our chains
but we stayed bounded and turned for the worst, embracing the drastic change
the world is choking us
the government is joking us
makes me angry to the point where im forced to bust
and i wonder daily, is there any hope for us?
we're a peculiar race and others shouldn't come close to us
but we've let them, and given into being the footstool
is it still possible for us to pull through?
it all depends on what moves you to do what you do
cause satan will play the fool with your life, just for believing your'e foolproof
we came from the dirt so we're no greater than worms
yet you usher in sin and forget to make a confession, but soon, God's just gunna let it burn
sanity is your destiny, but the future should be your concern
but we've forgotten how to rationalize, no wonder children don't practice what they've learned
we've changed family
this is a travesty or worse a tragedy
and i say this with accuracy
it's time ti change or die unnaturally
because at the end of time there's gunna be multiple casualties
