Politics


 

This Country is a mix of chemicals where one wrong move could cause

a nuclear explosion.

The obvious issues were seen on T.V and Social Media,

It was all about the courts.

We know people die everyday,

We are aware of the social injustice that is allowed to fester.

People constantly talk about how ,”We feel your pain”, or ,”It’s just another minor detail.”

The economy is talked about as if it won’t affect the lives of this country.

News flash this country was built off of pain; all because people were greedy and wanted free Labor.

America always finds a way to justify violence, but when it’s within the county it’s all about Appearance.



Death is around every corner,

But we worry about people getting past the border.

A little black girl kills another,

A white man kills a boy that could’ve been my brother.

We want the girl to to be convicted of murder,

But the man we just consider it another blunder.

Before we try to enforce the laws let’s fix them.

For those who say it’s no big deal,

It’s simply easy for you to say because you're not struggling to find your next meal.

I got a question have you ever been without?

If not shut your mouth.

You can’t tell others how they are suppose to feel.
