Isn’t it a little ..

You know they say boys will be boys and you know what that may be true because their ignorance is bliss and bypassed by the news.

It’s crazy how a white man can wear a durag and not get flagged.

They say love thy neighbour it’s true when it comes to barbers and cleaners because now they have a favor so it’s doesn’t matter about their behaviour.

It’s crazy how there’s around 2.7 million children in foster care but you only care for the unborn ones. Whys that I often wonder as it’s always the people who don’t care for their welfare.

It’s crazy how a man can raise flags to defend his land and not be deemed mad.

It’s really crazy how women get punished by society for doing the same things a man would do.

Cat calls down all the halls, left-right all the boys look out for a cat fight.

Free my body my mind , girls in a tight dress are automatically down for a good time. But it’s okay we are banter I tried to tell her.

Women struggle in secrete huddles, overwhelmed, protector, cooking for a distant lover and somehow you’re telling her how to be a mother.

“Man” of the house you’re meant to be but yet all i see is a sad excuse of a boy who would beat his mother black and blue actual buffoon.

Always labelled as the angry daughter but you never know the true monster that raised her.

Kids nowadays just trapped in their gaze, reality hits to hard like the new bruise on their face.

Parents think they understand, their whispers never seem to land as the kids by the door now their tears are louder on the floor. How can you look your sweet maybe in her eyes after telling her lies saying she’s the prize?

And you respect it?

You look up to people like tate, trump, and farage nah you waste of space , you disgrace after that how could you look at your mother and tell her you love her?

Misguided misogyny, crooked lines, dark alleys, women praying, men preying, women have instructions and guideline , but he’s writing those now do you follow?

One wrong turn , now she’s on the news , he’s on the move , he’s out for bail but why is she on the rail, she’s scarred for life but all he got was a charge while still holding that knife.

Immigrants left the blueprints of our history provided by their memories whether that’s music, statues , or arts and craft . See for the person you are today deny it or not but over 400 hundred years that’s 4000 ancestors and you still believe that immigrants aren’t from your very family. Look I’m sorry to break it to you Steve but your country are thieves , the ground you stand on here today have tear stained marks from past slaves.

It’s a little crazy to me how women have to work ten times harder than a man could ever imagine yet get slandered on every aspect of herself. No matter how much more faster , smarter, creative, or groundbreaking she is because she is a wo-man she’ll always be entitled to a man’s world.

Be respectful, honest, open and wise. Be vigilant with the words you exchange to a random bystander as they may be your future care taker. Don’t take life for granted though easier said than done in the end there’s no more time for “ I wish I would have done”.

It’s just a little …
