Recent poem I had written in an attempt to vent.
Families on the street due to job loss and lease rise
kids turn to gangs while the leader claims the peace prize
media thrive off pain to make a dollar they release lies
fast food ads so loud they can't hear a kid's obese cries
freedom forbidden for those gagged and tied up
our men end up with their toes tagged or lined up
children starve to death as they watch the wealthy feast
too many unanswered questions with the war in the Middle East
government caught supplying guns to keep the drug war alive
those looking to cross the border reach death before they arrive
children having children, we've reached an epidemic
the only education received is guaranteed non-academic
getting fined for crossing streets that your tax money built
then introduce carbon tax and blame environmental guilt
women getting stoned to death for turning down a vulture
'cause refusing arranged marriages is betraying ones culture
the words they class as wisdom is just decomposing truth
cover ups used to silence those with the exposing proof
are these problems all political, are we thinking analytical
why do we seek answers from the weak and hypocritical
release a victim's photo, protect a killer with facial blurs
hope the future generations aren't victims of racial slurs
domestic violence shouldn't exist but cowards choose to converse with their fist
rapists walk with no cuffs on their wrist as others still make the most wanted list
making money is a clear addiction, to speak our mind is a near restriction
crime so high they don't fear conviction, time to stand and start to steer prediction.
