Dear society
Dear Society,
You make us.
You control us
Dictate our actions
Our morals
Our hates and likes
Our appearances.
You claim that you’re accepting
Of everything we do.
But you only care
About the things you want,
Sweeping everything else
Under the rug.
Adding emphasis
On the old agendas.
Denouncing anything
That you don’t like.
The women needed a push,
And you kindly helped.
The african americans complained,
And you did too.
The social injustice
Would not stand
In your perfect little world.
The way you care
Is not right.
It is very flawed
Just as you are.
Think about those topics,
The ones you pushed away.
Think about where they
Ended up.
Did they succeed
Like the others?
Did they have an army,
Backing their every move?
Did they end up changing
What was wrong and right?
Think about the way
You feel,
When society backs you.
Translate those feelings
Of joy and strength,
To help
Those that are not
As fortunate as you.
Lend them strength
And optimism
And support.
