Am I Allowed To Say This
Am I allowed to say this?
I'm painting a picture, but some will say I shouldn't be proud to display this
If I was speaking this in public would there be a crowd to delay this
I know there will be people who disagree and tell me I shouldn't be allowed to say this
In this heartless world, I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Tell me I shouldn't be talking, but I won't be a part of the reason
I wish I could heal the world even though I wasn't the start of the bleeding
We're all facing different battles, but we share one thing in common, we're all far away from freedom
Politicians speak a lot, but there's hardly any good in their statements
They have no issue with leaving tears on faces and blood on the pavements
I know I'm a hypocrite, because I'm screaming kill the violence
I should quiet down, because if you speak too much you will be silenced
we all share this world so who are we to decide who's a so called immigrant?
I embrace all cultures and people, not just a fellow English man
There's good and bad in all races and religions
I'll never understand why they let paedophiles and rapists out of prisons
Surely people that commit such crimes should always be locked up
Turn on the news, and see America has just had another school shot up
America has issues with guns, then over here knife crime is at an all time high
I know we all go one day, but no one can tell me this is how we should die
Will the the violence ever stop?, too many parents are burying their children
What kind of coward takes a loaded weapon and shoots up a whole building?
There isn't enough protection, so how can we feel safe in this world?
We need to spread a little love, because there's too much hate in this world
