Dear privileged white people
who think the protests are wrong
open your ears
we might not talk the same
but we scream the same
we might not look the same 
but we bleed the same

we are all red inside
we all have bones
the only thing different
is our skin tone

our screams blend
in this circle of hate
when will it end
too bad, its too late

Justice
all we want
Murder
all that happens

children harmed
women hurt
cultures disrespected
when will it end

heres your answer
it wont
these men that are in power?
theyre power hungry
to end the cycle we need to remove them

I know that, believe me. I am white. I know the suffers of the world in general that affect everyone. But this was about the protests happening near my home and hearing the privileged people say how it was an inconvenience and that we had no right to be protesting. Thank you though. It means a lot that you think it's good.

It is good and poor you for being caught up. The injustices of life never ever surprise me anymore Jaye, maybe because mostly the personality type of those seeking power in the first place tend to be exactly the personality types who should never rule in the first place. They mostly lack empathy, compassion, fairness or honesty and practically every establishment of organised power is corrupt( in my opinion). What does surprise me again and again and again is the fact that 'we' the people continually, without fail, and in almost every country worldwide continue to elect such egos and narcissists into power in the first place...but we do at every opportunity. My head is dented at the futility of it all...hugs X

Hello Jaye and welcome to Cosmo.  I like this because you shine a light on some of the issues that have really cost us as a planet and as a human race. If we all paused for a moment and thought about where the root of this problem stems from, it is like you say, those power hungry humans that will stop at nothing to feel fed. Even at the cost of human lives and the life of this beautiful earth. Thanks for sharing

I hate their fucking eyes...

I hate their fucking eyes on me

A fork to a gun
A smile to a scowl
A whore to a nun
A bark to a growl
