*sometimes my brain doesn't work
quite the write way*
the words twist on my tongue
and long for a pen
craving to been seen, to be heard
but
no one
wants
to hear
the
cries
of
innocence
dying
we turn our head and convince ourselves that "everything will be okay"
we use this awful logic that maybe, just maybe, if we close our eyes that nothing is wrong
and when faced with the blunt truth everything is falling apart we become a nation of ignorance
spewing meaningless hate words such as "oppression" and "priviledged"
not even stopping for a moment to realize the
oh
my
God
who cares??
because while we fight about separation in our own country, people are being slaughtered without a thought in others
but as a nation of narcissistic bigots, each and every one of us, we clothe our eyes with rose-colored glasses
still yelling about being color blind
we
distract
ourselves
with petty "challenges"
as if
that could
fix
anything...
stop trying to look for something that soothes your guilty soul
and
**wake
the
XXXX
up**
take care in how you determine our countries future
i pray that you
actually
stop
and
THINK
because no one wants to clean up the mess of a negligent party
