Just an oddity

by ryan-maroni

Do you think it's odd, They question a millennial generation For being in touch with how they feel? Should I follow you and push it down? Let's pretend none of it is real, yeah? "Close your eyes to injustice, kid. Don't you talk about it, then we'll have to talk about it." A lot of Hollywood has to talk about it. Instead of people putting it to god We put it to our own selves but none aplaud. Rather appauld that we speak. I might fit your snowflake type But my demons aren't melting in my mind Trickling through as you close your eyes. Do you think it's odd, If people don't understand your problem They label you as a weak link But did you ever stop and think If it was your name in an oppression, If it was your heart in a depression, If it was your loved one shooting up, Maybe you'd feel different. You can't help fix these cracked streets If you have your eyes covered in a sheet You aren't a hero for making a toast When the problems hit you were a ghost. Do you think it's odd That we are all people But more often than not damn each other Praying to a god that doesn't pass judgement to you.
