So Here We Are

So here we are…
Brought into a world of discrimination and disarray
We are not the keystone but the voussoir
Simply a pebble on the pathway

Because hopefully our kids can figure it out
At least that is how we got here 
“Oh, I'm sure someone will come about to resolve our extestential drought”
Unfortunately for us, the path is not clear

But does anyone apart from us understand that? 
That the pressure put on us at such a young age
Can actually combat 
The very thing they want to assuage.

Maybe no one understands it.
Maybe there’s nothing we can do but acquit.
