Untitled

by Poeticjustice

Tell me why there is so much hate in the world these days but every religion claims it teaches love. Tell me why people hate black people or why parents are assholes or why we spend 14 years at school institutions for free but have to pay thousands a year for a college education. tell me how the caged bird got that way. My curiosity is burning hotter than the sun on the burnt skin of my ancestors wiped out by conquistadors and brought across an ocean of blood tears against the tide of their will. What am I doing here? Where did I come from and where am I going? Why wasn't i born into a rich white family? Why do I have to watch my mother struggle with lips sewn shut because we don't struggle as bad as other families? Why is money even a standard of living when it's just a piece of fucking paper? See, I'm convinced that this world ain't shit.
