Separation In the World
I see in the world, still today hate, racism, and discrimination.
We're supposed to work together under one nation.
I'll never understand how people can judge by skin color, orientation, or beliefs.
I hope one day everyone that gets hated on will get some relief.
I have black, white, middle eastern, and Chinese in my family.
Being racist or discriminatory I could never be.
I have gay, straight, and bi in my blood line.
Still in 2021 some people see this as a crime.
Mental health, handicapped, and addicts are in my family tree.
Color, orientation, and/or illness i do not see.
Lil Baby was right "its bigger than black and white"
We need to see the bigger picture, the problem is the way of life.
Spread love, NOT HATE it starts with each individual.
But it can't be just words, it needs to be visual.
Instead of judging color, look deeper to the mind and heart.
Thats where we each can start.
Teach our kids of love and not discrimination.
Then maybe this world can stop the separation.
Lil Baby said "every colored person ain't dumb and all whites not racist."
This world need to wake up and face it.
There's separation for many and it needs to stop.
Then maybe hate crimes can drop.
Politics are part of our issue too.
I have Trump and Biden fans in my friends and fam, but everyone has beliefs, what can I do.
Politicians are bullies and spread hate.
Look at their campaigns they're grown bullies and separation they create.
The world needs love and to not categorize.
Theres bad Individuals in all groups, and if we can remember that then maybe above hate we can rise.
Bad whites, bad blacks, bad cops, bad doctors, but on the opposite end most are good.
So spreading love, opening our minds to diversity and educating ourselves on what we don't understand is a should.
