Hate seems to have become a driving force in today’s society. It has gotten to the point that even presidential candidates have begun to target minorities and lifestyles and heroes all because they want to outperform everyone else. If our nation is to continue growing, then things need to change.
Damned We Are As A Nation
Damned we all are
For being who we are,
For what we choose
As our lifestyle.
Damned are we
In the eyes of America
For being different
And for being ourselves.
Our identities are stripped
Away from us like clothing,
Leaving us naked for
People to taunt and criticize.
Just for being of the
Wrong skin, the wrong creed,
Wrong sexual orientation, ideology,
Personality, mentality, wrong income,
Wrong social standing, wrong
Job, possess the wrong materials,
The wrong skills and talents,
Possess the wrong body.
Racist and xenophobic politicians
And people try to control our persona,
Paint us the way they desire
For they believe they are right.
Correcting our image does nothing,
Painting ourselves is frowned upon,
Discriminated for being ourselves
And for simply being human,
Breathing and living like
The rest of the world.
If we as a nation are to
Grow, people need to educate
Themselves and grow spines
And become kinder and more caring
And rely on ourselves for knowledge,
Not be spoon fed by imbeciles.
