Society


Society Look around and tell me if you see anyone different, or just carbon copies of the same brainwashed minds, thinking without thought conceived on their own time, going along with the endless river of pop culture trends that flow, and the reason for their actions being no more. Society Is this what YOU are? Black and white figments splattered all around, no diversity or color? I swear everywhere I go, I hear people around you making the same sounds. Society When my mom and pops were young, you weren’t like this in their day. When did getting pregnant at 16 become an accomplishment, it’s astonishing . She opens her legs wide open , getting awarded it’s boasted. I don't understand the logic. Society Why is a child bringing a child into this world? Why is it more important to loose something so precious over a man so worthless? And why is it that we overuse and abuse the freedom God gave us. My generation is weak, made up by floating souls who follow wherever the leader they chose go. Only the strong have a mind of their own, Only the strong know who they are. Society you’ve changed . People say appreciate the fact that us as blacks are free , no longer slaves but it’s still the same . They look down at us Society Although some of the most educated intelligence, are born from the darkest berry. Tupac said it would be sweeter, but the same people he was fighting for had him buried . Society Wake up from the nightmare that has consulted your dreams, come back as you once were explain to us that there’s hope society, believe in us like we once believed in you. Society Bring back the variety, bring back the difference give women their morals give women self respect Because a woman with a powerful mind is the most dangerous weapon against society’s men . Give us back our children, because at the age of 15 you shouldn’t be experiencing adult things. Give us back love, because its locked away in your dreams society. Give us BACK VALUE , Show us we’re worth something .. Society I don’t know where you went ... But if I have to travel in time , back to when Marvin was playing , Martin Luther was praying, Rosa Parks was staying and Malcolm X was saying what we needed to hear decomposing of our fears ... I will ... I miss you Society . I need you Society . Bring back Society .
