Our World By: Alexis Scott

Why is it that when we lie, we look to the left?
What's REALLY going to happen after death?

Why is it that when you try not to cry, you get a painful lump in your throat?
Why does the female species find it becoming to gloat?

If hate is such a strong word, why is it such an easy action?
If there's a variety jobs, why do we all want to be the designer of fashion?

If children are a gift from GOD, why are we so very mistreated?
If love is to be cherished, why does it all too often leave our hearts depleted?

See, words of endearment are becoming too dominate when you live in a world where it's impossible to be celibate. We fear Lions and Tigers and Bears, but walk the unsafe streets of cities in which we dwell, without a care. That's where the real problem lies. Lies, told from one person to the next, which usually ends in the words "I regret..". Can you feel me yet? Church was never my priority, cause I get the daily word from Kanye, Common, Wale, and Bob Marley. That's when the judgement comes, and I hate fighting ignorance, but I don't dare to run. Young men with tattoos, pants loose, and guns, we don't know their stories, but we still choose to shun. People always say college is the key to success, parents pound it in our heads, so unheard of dreams are locked away and suppressed. I'm just speaking for those without a voice, the ones who are forced into situations, not given a choice. The majority yells PROP 8, while the minority yells NOH8. Can you relate? I know many of us can. We need freedom for the voiceless, cause I'll be damned. Our generation is repeatedly dogged out, but who can tell me who raised these children that we rant and rave about? We stress that chivalry is dead, but are surrounded by women who only want their men to break bread...Enough said. This is OUR world, let's get it together BEFORE they day we're lying in a hospital bed all covered in RED.
