Savagely Sincere


Sometimes I hope and pray that before I die I help the world one way I could slay world hunger by saving more food that we throw away and stop wasting and put it on a cafeteria tray My brain has grown accustomed to viewing in gray because no matter who you are or you're religion, we're all the same slavery's been abolished, but racism has to decay Rest in peace to the Good Ole Boys and KKK Hatred and judgment is how we betray the Christian religion that says to love he, she, they Instead we frown upon and prey on the Muslim religion and gays Makes me confused and angry how the world behaves Pardon my mind it's in the wrong place but I had to get that off my chest We as a people are a complete mess I will not ever speak this way in person I confess but I write this so my reader's are kept abreast On our lack of success And people wonder why as a nation we're oppressed It's God's Test, Shaking his head because he's unimpressed We're assessed, on how we act as birds inside a cuckoo's nest unwelcomed guest, cause this bird is flying from east to west To protest. stop me,I'm wearing a bulletproof vest you will digest these words because this is my address Sunday's best for he is always watching me and it's time for you to get dressed
