Is this us in reality?

Is this us in reality?

Crying...yelling...desperate

Behind those fences, are tears

Tears that could have been going down there cheek from happiness

But instead

Those tears are telling a story...

Those tears are the fear people have in them

Not knowing if they will have a meal or not that day

They are human...not animals to be behind fences...

Affecting the youth

The youth that can help our world in the future

The youth that have a hope to have a good future

The youth who have dreams 

But instead...

There future are being crushed

Parents who sacrificed everything for their children's future

Parents who want the best of the best for their children

Parents who have suffered a lot in the past and don't want their children to experience what they passed through

Parents who try and be successful for their family

But instead there being separated from their loved one or locked away

Not knowing if they will ever have their families back to them again

Is this us in reality?

Is this correct?

Think about it… process it again

Are we improving ourselves?

Improving the world?

Improving the environment?

Is this world even safe?

We aren't playing the victim

We are trying to make ourselves look tough

But instead…

We are making ourselves be the bad guy here...

We aren't making America"Great"

We are making America go corrupted
