viewpoint

We see with our eyes

But they’re not open

For the glass is half empty

We dwell on what we can’t control

Missing the bigger picture

The disaster this world has become

No one sees or at least

They try not to but

History is reversing itself

We’re plummeting back

Into old times

Our world is becoming

Segregated again

War is near and all we can

Worry about is the next

Big celebrity news

We don’t see the

Disaster we have become

As a nations people

When are we going to

Open our eyes and ears to reality

This world is becoming unknown

A foreign land to me my own backyard

Racism has never left but

They are becoming bolder

and bolder to speak it

people are dying everyday

and yet a blind eye is turned

because this not the news

we wish to partake

this is chaos at his best

women and children are

being killed and raped

and yet no one has intervened

when will the bloodshed be enough

when will the tears that

stain our eyes be enough

when will the cries of yet

another lifeless body laid

bare for all to see be enough

when will the lies that not only

our government but every

government feeds be enough

when will we have a voice

and not fear the consequences

because the payoff

will be victory enough

when will we stop hiding

behind the computer and act

when will we stop degrading one another

and lift our sisters and brothers

when will we become a nation

that is great and not bias

when will we say it’s time to

rewrite the lies of history

when will we see through

that viewpoint of misery

when will we Bow Down

and give our all to him to

mend this broken world

our sins have created

when will we stop looking

through one side of the glass

and see it whole

when will our viewpoints become one
