Women’s Rights, Party Fights and violence fill the air,
White men show minorities
They truly do not care.
Each step up
Is two steps back,
To times that weren’t right.
A time when opportunity was great… if you were white.
Statues falling, names a calling
Torches, chants and death.
People fighting endlessly
Until their final breath.
Standing up for our beliefs
We’ve done it all before.
But this time moves so differently,
It’s rotten to the core.
The world perceives a weakened state,
A red and blue divide.
They could walk in and take it all
But haven’t even tried.
There’s no need to interfere
Or try to get involved
They sit and watch and wait it out,
To see if it’s resolved.
This fight within, it is a sin,
Embarrassing and wrong;
To say that we’ll make changes,
Then play the same old song.
We need to come together
As Americans once more,
We need to feel the hope, the love,
And stop internal war.
A wise man said, “The answer friend,”
“Is blowing in the wind.”
That wind of change is what will make
Our country great again.
It’s not the narcissism ,
It’s not the constant lies,
It IS the fact the stubborn base
Won’t open up their eyes.
We all have rights to our beliefs,
No ones right or wrong.
But we say that we will change
Then play the same old song.
This time round, please make it count,
Get off your ass and vote.
Turn off Fox and CNN,
Put down the damn remote.
Women and minorities
Fought so they’d be heard,
Now’s the time to raise your voice,
And make them feel your words.
