Letter To the Government

They won't like me writing this but I don't care
You believe the lies they feed you, I'll give you the facts they won't share
let me start off by saying rest in peace to all the innocent lives lost in Nigeria
The government have no issue with innocent kids being killed in Libya 
They only care when it's a European city that gets attacked
Like the kid at school who doesn't fit in, they'll get left back
Pushed aside and left to rot
The politicians homes are safe, so they don't care if the rest is lost
Living in the times of cowardly hearts and shallow minds 
Rest in peace to all the innocent people killed in Palestine 
Anyone who doesn't want Palestine free is an enemy to me
I don't want that kind of energy around me
Rich people don't get fair prison sentences, because the judges get paid off
Over three hundred thousand people this year have been laid off
Simply for having mental health problems as they're not considered normal
How can anyone not think that's awful?
Then to top it off rapists and paedophiles get out early, than you ask why should our daughters & girlfriends be scared for?
All you say is they should wear more
You'll give a longer sentence to someone with copied movies than a terrorist with bombs at an airport 
You'll up the security for a few weeks
But then bring it back down, because either way you're all safe while you sleep
I'm English, but feel sorry for Americans as they have that racist misogynistic evil coward as president
You'll say I'm calling him names when he's actually gave you evidence
A white man shot over 500 people in Vegas and Trump didn't even act
He's a terrorist, but Trump won't call him that because he's not Asian or black
But as soon as a person of another colour kills people, he judges their entire race
And yet some can't see how that idiot Trump is a disgrace 
I grew up being bullied so I don't care if anyone reading this is hating me
I fully support the cause for take a knee 
If you're racist I hope your daughter grows up to date a black guy
Falls in love, has his kids & they stay together for life
I hope they never feel like they shouldn't be together because of your hatred
There's good in every race, so hating people for being different to you, is your time wasted
The fact things like this still exist in 2017 is troubling
I know a lot of people will hate me because of my letter to the government

I love your letter to the government, truth in all your words. Why can't everyone love and respect each other regardless of ethnicity, differences are good. You need to get your poetry published, it is so moving and thought provoking.

I'm glad you liked it :) I don't know, sadly some hate others for no reason, and we'll probably never understand, I don't think I'm good enough to get it published, but thank you, I appreciate it :)
