Forgive Me For Being Lost

I live in a world where kids Cancer, Women get raped, and teenagers get shot Government take us to war, Police kill innocent people We're all judged for whatever we do, no one is equal Can you forgive me for being lost? Kylie Jenner wearing a new dress is more important than what's happening in Palestine No wonder this generation grow up ignorant and with shallow minds People going around killing innocents and recording it on Facebook live You can't be on your phone while driving, but what about that woman trying to get her make up right? Isn't she just as bad as someone drink driving, or using their phone? Crooked banks will give a loan so a family will end up losing their home The people who are supposed to help are the biggest crooks The biggest criminals, wear suits and ties and are called politicians, wait have I said too much? They want to blame Hip-Hop for violence and gun crime I've listened to it since I was 8 and have been inspired by the rhymes But that's not something the government want people to tell you The government dug the holes, but won't admit they're the reason you fell through Early release dates for rapists and paedophiles so they can go out and abuse again Give them a secret identity and move them across from a school Why test on innocent animals, Rapist and paedophiles exist, we should be using them How are we supposed to feel safe when the law gives these rules? The world is evil, how are we supposed to know our worth in this place? Sun newspaper will print "Her skirt was short, she deserved to be raped" These are things I've seen and heard, and it hurts to write this How on earth can people go out and do things like this? Someone please explain why they blame the victim and offer more counselling to the rapist? You have no right to sexually touch anyone without their consent even if they were to walk around naked Some won't like that I wrote this, I know it'll come at a cost But with all of this going on, can you forgive me for being lost
