All Lives Matter

How am I To live a meaningful life In a world full of misery Inhumanity and strife To dodge all the pitfalls That lead us all to sin Knowing good and well It’s a battle I’ll never win How am I To be able to cope In a society full racism And a world who’s lost hope To be reassured of a future Where mankind still has a place On this planet we have treated With devastation and disgrace How am I To give my children a chance To surpass my expectations Is there even a chance? Will they be left with a planet Raped and poisoned beyond all repair A wasteland of religious hatred Do we even really care? How are “WE” As a species expect to survive If we all continue with the mind set That only "MY" race and religion Deserve to be alive.
