change

April 18, 2016

We want change like new wardrobes

And no war zones

Just a violence free world with no sticks or stones

No broken bones of my people

We want equal rights

Like women's pay and to be able to play on swing sets without being swinged into the back of cop cars

For looking suspicious

We want to change the world with motivation, push forward, a reason to believe in a greater tomorrow

To make America great again by not voting for trump

To focus on our countries sorrows

We discriminate because of fear of terrorism but we terrorize countries to avoid bringing terrorist

Marking our territory on their land

Killing their people, our people, killing children

Tell me, how can we change the world when our future is being jeopardized

On our street corners when people are selling dope just to survive

Where our children kill each other because we are told that the world is survival of the fittest

Where if you're not the illest, you can't sit with us

And if your shoes are cleaner than mine, then Ima beat you up

Cause we're not told to be friendly

We turn on the news and see nothing but hurting

So we don't watch the news

But we want change so our parents don't have to work two jobs

And we know the struggle

So let's make a change

Let's watch the news

And go to school

Find something we like and let that be your fuel

Let go of the guns bring back our troops

Let's Stop targeting what fishy looks like because of the color of skin

Let's Make our children believe that they can make America great again

That we can make the world great

Feel the bern on your fingertips

And aspiration In your gut

Our rights are the best gun

We'll shoot back with knowledge and positivity

Because we all have a dream

And All lives matter

Let's make change happen

By changing ourselves

Thank you.
