Society

The President leads our country Trying to create a peaceful society Celebrities are few but treated like kings Some act and some sing Actors and Actresses light up the screen Displaying themes imagined in dreams Athletes run, shoot, and pass Heroes for children Entertaining the mass Soldiers at war knocking on death’s door Do we know what they’re fighting for? People starve, not just for food Money, shelter, and non depressed moods A country consisting of many religions Entertained by athleticism Bounded by patriotism Plagued by racism Home of the brave, Land of the free and Equality are What liberty and justice mean to me But on a daily basis that is not what I see So how come these words That are memorized and recited by many Aren’t reality and Continue to deceive me? I Say Learn so you can teach Love don’t hate is a good cliché to preach Communicate to motivate Take control and decide your fate Always think wise to avoid demise REVOLUTIONIZE And soon we’ll realize Society relies on how hard WE try. -Stephen Obeng
