You N I ty

(It’s one nation under god, but we still have our guard up Can’t embrace another race cause we hard up For cash and food: these two will get you scarred up Just to get by Kids trampled in a stampede Just to get fly Another dead over some bread Just to get Rye And we wonder why we can’t be fed Cast asunder raised to led Now we attempt to be friends But act like toddlers in the deep end Arms flailing, wailing now Just to get dry Fixated on our fear of drowning We submerge those we deem weak below us to stay afloat The Glaring Omission being… We are still in the pool! Our desperate attempts for individual safety Merely placed us at the pinnacle of a soggy situation Consumed with self-preservation We forget: We float when we die! Failing to realize death is not our only similarity But instead cooperation we engage in competition A bitter rendition, in a dog eat dog world Where the victor is still on a leash Threatened by our hustle, Were put in muzzles until they pretend to not comprehend our speech Where the life guards guard their pocket And if we are not a part of the profit We might as well be skeletons in closet Over looked, never wept, our deaths another secret kept This vicious cycle perpetuates and will continue to so……… Unless we Unite. That’s when You n I are tied together by bonds so strong we become indifferent about our differences. Still individuals we are not divided by the color of skin or accruement of dividends. Instead, You N I are a unit solid yet fluid where no holes run through it They say the whole world loves it when we sing the blues And the whole world loves when we lose Feels like the whole smirks when we frown let’s turn the world upside down So before when it felt like it was all about ME The whole world witnesses what’s accomplished by WE )
