An Open Letter to the World


 long time no see
 
You have been killing me
 
With your racism against people who just want to be free
 
Your dying from heat as this world begins to become extinct
 
Women are less than 
 
People of color are less than
 
Why is corruption greater than
 
 
We need change
 
 
People are dying around the world but instead of listening we put up fake news to show more hate
Why are mass shootings just another day
People are less than even in the United States
What happened to freedom and justice in this place?
 
What happened to community we are all just one family
We all are connected and begin at one place
We are all a part of one race- a human race
 
When was it okay to stop loving 
When was it okay to start this hate
 
Who decided that love was gone
Who decided people were objects meant just for pleasure
 
I want to scream people are dying
People are being sexist, racist, and underhanded
 
What happened to good people?
What happened to community?
What happened to We the people?
 
Where is the love- why do I see hate and have to search for peace
 
Why are we marrying off our children instead of giving them equal opportunities
Why is the pursuit of happiness the impossible dream
 
Why does religion mean segregation instead of community
 
Why is their poison in our waters?
Why are we letting people drink poison?
 
 
Why are guns more important than human life?
Why do we need guns in our homes to feel protected?
 
Why do we kill each other in war- why is there war?
Oh I know because we are filled with hate
 
Why do we kill our world
Why is it hard to live comfortably
Why do we throw people in jail because of the color of their skin
War on drugs more like war on color
What happened to safety and security
Why do we have corruption in our government when we should feel safe in our security
Why does religion mean separation
Why is poverty an epidemic disease
Why is discrimination and inequality still alive after all this time
Why are we killing our neighbors for being different
Why are we killing our home
 
We need a change
 
Our world is a hell
 
We need to change
 
My open letter to the world
 
Here's your problems here is your solution
 
Just love
Why is it so hard
 
Love your neighbors- love your planet
Have love in your heart
 
It is so simple its difficult
 
It's your choice to listen
 
It's your chance to change
 
It is your time to change
 
Will you let yourself die
 
 
 
long time no see
 
You have been killing me
 
With your racism against people who just want to be free
 
Your dying from heat as this world begins to become extinct
 
Women are less than 
 
People of color are less than
 
Why is corruption greater than
 
 
Here is my open letter to the world
 
My open letter to you
