Division

Division
But this is more than math
Even after I break it down
Still won't know the half
Or the quarter
Or any fraction any smaller
Too busy claiming you're taller
Focused on asserting your order
Since when did God make you Her equivalent
Because God purposely made everyone different
And in that, that makes us all related
How one major spirit is how we were all created
So by who the fault is taken
For discrimination's origination
Who brought up what an inferior race is
What a superior race is
Let alone which title matches whose faces
And seeing what the world's collective state is
Mr. Full-of-himself Kanye West perfectly phrased it
No one man should have all that power
We're all taught that the world is ours
But never taught that it was meant in general
We personalized it and took it literal
We wasn't taught the world is ours as a human race
So we went by individuality
All for one mentality
When we thinks we deserve more than the next
We do whatever it takes to show that we're the best
And here we are
Civil War
Because we call a different shade of family inferior
Division
Team light skin, brown skin, dark skin
Reaper nor policemen can tell us apart
They still tear us apart
Red eyes glare at your heart
We're a no go
Looking for love from the rest of the world
Clearly a no show
Inside we're as bad as the outside world
Act like we don't know
Because we can't face the fact that we don't know ourselves
To know ourselves is to know our hell
To know our hell is to know we're family
With the enemy

Kick Ass DONOVAN!!!.........at first I felt like I was reading your personal journal.........this is SO compelling and like the way you used all the different mathematical terminology in the first half........but then you wind up laying it on us........that we're all a part of one big family........that some us recognize it and some of us don't........to me..........this is a VERY cool social commentary..........well done brother!!.......keep 'em coming !!.............ALL STARS.............T xo
