Problems

We have a problem with the color of our skins,
We have a problem with our religions.
We have a problem with what we learn,
We have a problem with how much we earn.
We have a problem with the cost of our health,
We have a problem with the cost of the Stealth.
We have a problem with where we live,
We have a problem with how much to give.
We have a problem with what we think,
We have a problem with the missing link.
We have a problem with who should lead,
We have a problem with how many we can feed.
We have problems with caring for the needy,
We have a problem with those who are too greedy.
We have a problem with our young and old,
We have a problem with “do as you’re told”.
We have a problem with all kinds of pollution,
We have a problem with vague, half assed solutions.
We have a problem with our lack of respect,
Especially when it’s us we continue to neglect. 
IT'S A HUMAN THING
