Just Me Against The World

by @MyValentine

Just Me Against The World     A soaring Red Cardinal Bird     Down below     Hell, tall stacks daily blows     People walking around without a care     Popping pills, pulling out their hair     Mentality diminished from the thirty-day cycle     Bills, Rent, ask the Archangel Michael     Systematic designed not giving the brain cells time to regenerate     Anger, depression and an empty purse, yet, bills can’t wait, cannot even debate     Just Me Against The World     Ooh child, things are going to get easier     Ooh child, things will get brighter     No, it will be, more sleazier     No, it will be less righter     Think about it, it’s no surprise     You will come to realize     These are words from the wise     Just Me Against The World   No civil right shoulders or spiritual leaders to lean on     Yet, this world continues to pray for peace in a unified worldly song     No more, can we all just get alone     Those lyrics are so far gone     Inner cities, bullets keep flying     Mothers leaning over caskets crying     Handcuffed, no diploma, senseless crime     Court, Sentenced, Jail Time     Corporate stocks escalating, it’s a business on taxpayers’ dime     Bullied, life self-taken, silently snuffed     Political ramifications, gun agendas, immigration, no more on the up and up     Just Me Against The World     Peace has decreased     Toxic air from out the mouths of spiritual leaders, released     We put our tides in the collection plate and pray to the sky     Explain why racial disparity is at an all-time high     Schools, colleges, just walking by, why     911 telephone calls, Moorish skin, all just lies     Are we going forward or backwards as we meet     No trust as people come to greet     Soon, society will all see ghosts in the streets   Just Me Against The World     What happen to Make America Great     That concept was just a political switch and bait     Society does not have time to swallow its pride     Observers with ignorant prying eyes     Wrong mother, wrong color     The mirror is our only true lover     Deemed, no self-worth     Stigmatized after birth     The black man, sadly for them, no earthly rest     Peace, found only after he takes his last breath     His glory crowned only after death     This world must do better     My reason for writing such profound love letters     In this day     Uplifting words when we forget to pray     Whispered to you, as if I would tell you, or say     I give you my Love and Hugs     My Kisses and Rubs

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
