The Dragon Slayer

When it’s repeated in the media It becomes imprinted in our mind Past tragedies get resurrected Presented as occurrences in modern times Slavery, gender inequalities Sexual identities undefined Ironically, the worlds getting easier Yet we’ve regressed to darker times Most of the dragons have been slayed As we’ve progressed throughout the years Our perspective has become distorted A life of ease, creating irrational fears Stress and depression Manifesting in this world of ease Creates distorted thinking Contributing to over reactive anxiety No doubt there was a fight for equality A greater balance for a women and a man Race wars were very real Until a moral line was drawn in the sand But in this new world we live in We see dragons everywhere We’ve crippled our children By telling them they are special, and that life is always fair We’re extremely guilty of past history Shamed by events that happened before we were alive Instead of appreciating our advancement We chosen to wallow in our despise We should fully acknowledge our past And be thankful for today Learn from the mistakes we've made Create stronger relationships along the way The dragons have been slayed Our time is quickly coming to the end We’re fighting enemies Not even aware of the one within As we move forward We must learn to temper the fight We must right our wrongs And appreciate our human rights As the battle rages on America continually leads the way Let's stop fighting one another So we can all look forward to brighter days
