Problems

Pull up a chair, take a seat Let’s discuss all the problems we see The racism, sexism, murder, and rape Education and healthcare, humanities fate The slow death of dignity, blatant and bare A society in anguish, angry and scared No trust for the system that lead us astray No relief for the victims, we all fell prey Every dark mental illness that wanders by Bullet shells and screams from hell as the innocent die The rest of us carry on, tattered and torn Minds in the abyss, another dies, another is born The all consuming technology shines Anxiety and depression dance at the same time Held back by the money we just can’t make Unaware at the time, we’re just wasting life away So when you love, love hard, you really never know Just how deep your love can reach into a persons soul Today's as good as any for society to evolve Then take a seat and see all the problems we can solve Love yourself D.R.L.
