Entitled Ears

Dear all the entitled ears/

When was the last time you

Could truly hear?

Was it when the children’s ribs began to grind together

in a boisterous fit from the meals they weep for but never get

We have to feed our own, these kids aren’t shit

they’re leftovers from people we hate, and unfortunately missed?

Or maybe it was when the purple bowling ball hit her face

And you passed her on the street and called her a disgrace

For any woman dressed like that, deserved the name

it’s up to us to put her in her place?

Was it when a family of five was ripped

apart because we set up a traitorous system

To destroy their lives and FORCE them to commit crimes just to survive?

Yeah, let’s send them back to a country their eyes have never set,

Because we are America, United and shit.

Maybe it was the fireworks that exploded in all of the schools

took the lives of our suffering future’s youth

A future unheard, constrained by a mute

But because of what you support, they need to be bulletproof

What about flint? A lot of kids dying from bullets and hits

poisonous water and broken kids that aren’t expected to live

They’re one of our own, I thought we were supposed to be saving our home?

But we’re leaving them there to die, because it’s not your fault they can’t fix their lives, right?

Dear all the entitled ears,

Get off your ass, the time is near

Our country is dying, can’t you hear!?

Our future is screaming for you to appear!

To take a stand for what it right

And help our people

Learn to fight, not flight!
