21st Century Discombobulated Melancholy

Everyone’s political 
anti critical 
right by the rights 
now wrongly divisional 
Giving up the literal 
power unconditional 
Narratives are narrowly 
focused on disparity
comparatively ignorant 
to actual reality 

You’ll never change the past 
try to understand it better 
Don’t look passed what made it past 
its not your own endeavour 
advantages that you now have your ancestors didn’t 
branching out from beginnings to a global vision 
colonies were empires and empires were common 
the way that people were back then has long since been forgotten 
so don’t skip over history the path we all come from 
everybody’s owed something we need to move along
