Poem
I'm tired of all the things we have to put up with So let me express myself and then I'll shut up quick I'm thinking outside of it, while I'm alive I refuse to be boxed in The only time I'll be boxed in is when I'm inside my coffin Let me talk about the world we're lost in How can we trust anyone when the government lie to us I have a lot of respect for soldiers who risk their lives for us But I hate the fact innocent people get killed who aren't to blame 3 year olds, who survive a bomb attack but won't see their parents again Crying their eyes out, with no one to wipe their tears Who's going to feed and protect them? They've just lived their worst fear Lose the people they needed most, damn how am I supposed to sleep at night I'm seeing all of this, and it appears I'm the only one who knows it isn't right Terrorist attacks and missing planes Kids getting killed in Ukraine They need help so try to escape and all we do is call them immigrants Even though they've done nothing wrong and are innocent The news will inform you about attacks in Belgium and France But they don't have a minute silence for Nigeria We're supposed to just ignore Palestine and Syria Even though their attacks are more regular, damn The news and government are biased about what they show us They don't want you to have sympathy for countries they believe are below us You'll be racist against a country yet you regularly eat their food You dismiss their struggle, even though innocent kids are stitching together your shoes Why do we need money, clothes and possessions to Validate us? No matter what seats we have, none of us are as important as the people who provide the tickets and Allocate us we hold on to material items for assurance So when someone has more We don't feel as important You feel comfortable being a piranha until you're surrounded by alligators Then you'll feel betrayed like someone should have gave you a warning I call it karma for caring more about possessions than yourself You cheated and swapped the cards you were dealt Lied to the world and said it was an accident But the government lie so how can I blame you for it They're going to hate me for writing this Because I got their attention by calling it Kim Kardashian
