Change
A toxic aroma fills the environment,
Our unjustified deaths can be prevented.
Recently I was pulled over by a cop,
Fear overcame me as I came to a stop.
The change we need is on the ledge,
Voting is how we make the change.
Communities need to work together,
Like the sun and moon for the weather.
A man is held at gun point in his driveway,
We get harassed by the badge every day.
Put the shoe on the other foot for a day,
I’d like to see you live in my skin for a day.
Our system is screwed and rigged,
Always ruling in favor of white privilege.
A window for change has arrived,
A chance for our country to thrive.
