My Reality

I turn on the TV and what do I see
Another unarmed teen
Shot dead in the street
When I see this
Really what's on my mind
Is the way
This has all been done
By design
All the hatred being spread
Across the country worldwide
Now it's out in the open
At one time they would hide
Families split at the border
The mention of the wall
Economic collapse 
And the dollar still falls
Martial law on its way
It's coming just wait
As they continue to promote
Nothing but hate hate hate
U can say what u want
But I speak what I see
But what i see is injustice
For him them and me
It's the haves and have nots
If u have not then u screwed
Get pushed to the side
And treated so rude
The police the new Klan
Yea I said it so what
Everything nowadays
Is just so corrupt
All our freedoms at stake
If we don't stick together
So don't just take it lightly
Another storm we must weather
