This item is basically about racism and why it is so prevalent.
I hate this

You speak of the desire of equality

yet everyday, you divide yourselves constantly?

I bothers me,

The fight for unity

A battle fought for many years

doesn't seem to get better

mainly because all we do is fight

we fail to unite

why fall victim to ignorance

when knowledge is in plain sight

I invite,

you to join me

because I'm lonely

Its like im the only one that can see

that the harder we try to make this world one

our hard work unravels

and becomes undone

the sun

it shines upon everyone on this planet

it discriminates no one

dammit

I've had it

if an inanimate objects light and heat

can warm and intensify the world

then why is it that we vessels with blood running through our veins can be so cold

you're bold

you claim you're angry over something that happened years ago?

Let it go

holding a piece of coal in your hands trying to find someone to throw it at in the end

only burns you

and i've learnt that this world revolves around who you know

not what you know or what you can do

it makes me sick to see people evict

common sense out of their brains for immense stupidity

it drive me insane

how can you hate someone because of the color of their skin?

maybe its because you've been the victim of scrupulous scrutiny

and simply felt the need to pass it along

but you see

racism is something that can never be erased

so why not dispose of this ruined piece of paper

and start a new slate?
