If I could stretch my hands wide enough to fit around the earth I'd squeeze and squeeze till all the poison on the streets ooz , like an infected cut ..

We are taint , this world got every man , woman and child in chains and no , pigment of your skin doesn't matter now , we are ran on money and this society sells off those who can't do , a new form of prostitution in 2015 A.D..

I never thought at 16 is be writing about how cnn displays news of a war overseas but theres a war in our communities but yet air time doesn't exist for the youth , we are the future so they say , but it amazes me how our adult figures dig and dig a deeper grave for us to climb out of..

If I could close my eyes long enough to envision a peaceful world , mannn, I'd be sleep a life time ..

I wear my hair big and wild , but that doesn't mean im a rebel , so don't judge me because my hair isn't straight , my hair is a symbol of who I am but it doesn't mean I am inferior it defies gravity like a lions mane.. I am queen of the jungle

The way I talk doesn't have anything to do with how smart I may be , the way my jargon flows like static to Ya ears doesn't mean I can't speak in standard tongue and be polite at an interview..

Ima refugee to my own mind , I threw it out the window a long time ago , grew another and now I am an evolved species , this right here ain't for everybody and what I write ain't for everybody .. .

If I could go back in time and watch my ancestors be taken on slave ships to the land we live now , id see how it was and what really happened , study the captures because the same mentality they had back then is the same mentality they all have now ..

My ancestors never thought that's even in the 2000's we'd still be fighting for freedom, they've died and given their lives so I can go to school , sit in the front of the bus , dance with out a rope between the races .. My ancestors were beaten down and everytime we as a race tell eachother we can't .. We are beating eachother down just as bad ..

No matter where you go , people of darker skin are treated badly , why can't we all be free? Why can't we live in harmony.

Diversity is what gave each of us a name , a look and a voice but we all choice to use it or give up because some are more complex ..

If I could write a happy poem about the world without mentioning nature but strictly people ... It would be the shortest poem in history , one sentence ..

" this world is just a figment of everyone's gratification " ...
