Many People Think

Many people think in a way That’s not how it used to be Instead of working and trying hard Its “why did you do this to me?” “It's not fair and its all due to the color of my skin The only way it would be fair Is if you let me win” “I shouldn’t have to work at all For anything in this life Because so many years ago Your s caused my ancestors strife” “Give me everything that I want And then give a little bit more I will take it all and then ask But when will you even the score?” “Why do you hate me so And judge me for what I do Crime going without punishment As long as it it me against you” Why can't I go poke the bear And then say it's all for fun But when the bear strikes back at me expect sympathy from everyone?” What happened to the day when character is what truly mattered The idea of working for your dreams Is a value that has now been shattered Being a good person has Become a thing of the past All I can do is shake my head And hope it doesn’t last. 2/6/2022
