I’ve always found peace during storms
Like everything in the world transforms
When the tragedy is by Mother Nature
And not your next door neighbor
Since in this decade violence is a way of speaking
Money is the only thing people are seeking
What happened to going to church on Sundays
Instead our streets are stained with bloodstains
These local teens are on this fake ****.
Keeping their feet and mind at a different speed
Teens are smoking marijuana everyday
Using alcohol and drugs as a getaway
People marrying and divorcing like it’s no big deal
Hurt teens thinking cutting is a way to heal
We can’t even pray to god in schools today
My faith in god I should have a right to convey
When in our pledge it says “one nation under god”
We claim to be so high and mighty but it is all fraud
Ladies feel they have to show their bodies to get any attention
Blaming it all on men but their insecurities they fail to mention
When half the time it’s us ladies who are putting our own gender down
It’s like we are all fighting for some sort of imaginary crown
All these men gang banging, fighting, and selling drugs
So many leaving their kids to pretend they are some type of thugs
When’s the last time the media had something good to say
All these famous people must get tired of the false image they constantly portray
These kids say they worship the Illuminati
Today the streets are just filled with photocopies
They say be unique but being different is frowned upon
We are so cruel to each other but we are all gods spawn
A flag is causing a major fight and uproar
When it wasn’t even their side that one the war
Racism can’t seem to finally subside
To this cause so many men and women have had to die
The worst tragedy to a country used to be an awful plaque
Now today so many countries are in fear of an ISIS terrorist attack
Love thy neighbor as thyself is quoted in the bible
Yet so many claimed Christians are tearing the LGBT community of their title
God used to be the center of everyone’s life
Now so many are abandoning their faith because they’ll do anything to thrive
Today our world is a disappointment to the man who created it
Now his creation is filled with hypocrites
That’s when it begins to rain
For once it’s not the people in this world causing the pain
