What were are and what we will be
Is pre decided for us already
Its a fake reality, the world we live in today
There are ups and downs and in actuality
We know, we can’t really get everything we want
And for some, it is harder than others
For the color of our skin may not be as fair as our brothers and sisters
In other words, we may not look like others in our society today
People take one look at me and already
They determine my personality
Race, gender, my past
Yet no one really understands
What’s actually hiding under our masks
The anger that we as human beings muster
The ringing in our brains go louder
Just as we see the harm we do to one another
Unable to control the words we say
There are many mistakes made
That we simply cannot erase
For there is global warming
And all sorts of pollutions
Air, plastic, light and Noise
But really, we are not here to talk about the environment
But our unjust society
The way those presumptuous people feel about my kind
And many others that I see
Lurking on the streets day and night
Present to see that they are not being treated right
Simply just because they may not appear to be white
And that is my point exactly
Though not all people are racist entirely
But it is quite common in our world today
To see that people are harming others horrifyingly
Since their appearance varies
From your very own
And that is important to understand
Since this is the land for all
Or so it is portrayed, yet it leaves me appalled
To see that some of us are still not welcome
I mean, even after all this time
Immigrants and natives working side by side
Since 20 thousand years ago when immigrants first arrived
We are still not being treated right
