Open Your Eyes
Inhale, your journey was intense.
Scared to the core nothing makes sense.
Cries, a symbol of joy, fear, & pain fuel the love our parents feel.
Love has no eyes to see, but the ability to heal.
Pure, innocent, and curious we recognize faces, sounds and symbols.
Touch the fire to feel the heat,
warm sensations quick to retreat.
Communicate through sounds, body language with ease.
Then we learn our manners and always say please.
The time has come to go to school.
Where we learn to socialize to be “cool”.
Brittany the leader says, “Stay away from Ray
He acts like a girl, infected with gay.”
Later I asked my mother about this infection
She said, “It is easy to catch go the other direction.”
Upset, she expressed her hate for blacks.
Saying they deserve nothing but smacks.
These people are mean these people are cruel
Stay away from them when you are in school.
Two weeks later I became number one
Disliking the gay’s and blacks everyone had more fun.
Tyler said, “If I wanted to be cool
I need to ignore the aliens invading our school.
His dad said they take our jobs, money, and power for cheap
Leaving us with nothing more than a steaming heap.
Lisa said to hate the kids whose families are poor,
Because their destiny is to end up mopping the bathroom floor
They smell of dirt with heads full of lice
They should get beat up for being so nice.
After years of practice I became the leader.
no one wanted to be my friend or around me either.
I am 33 years old now and my wife is having our son Michael
He will end this terrible hate cycle.
Treat everyone with respect black, white, poor, or gay
We all are human none of these matter at the end of the day.
The truth is that we all are just the same
we all have feelings, but our ignorance is what we should blame.
