Social Injustice

Who’s right is it to tell us it is bad?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is wrong?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is disgraceful?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is improper?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is unfitting?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is inopportune?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is troubled?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is hopeless?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is indecent?
Who’s right is it to tell us it is unethical

Why do people think they have the right to tell someone how to live?
Why do people think they have the right to tell someone they are wrong?
Why do people think they have the right to tell someone anything?

The human race was created with an ability no other animal has.
We as humans have the ability and honor of having independence.
Freedom to live our lives how we want with no restrictions.
To do what we want when we want. 
All other animals are bound to their owners and mother nature.

So why are humans trying to take that away from each ourselves?
If that’s gone what is left?

We decide out fate.
We decide what we want.
We decide what we do.
We decide.

not you
