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
