2015

We live in a world

Where money is seen as a precious gem

More valuable than life

Where wrong is now right

And right is now wrong

Where parents are being parented by their own children

And schools abandon religion

But carry children to line the streets for the Pope

Is it not funny tho!

That in 2015

School children “pelting rocks” at each other because they do not agree

And some parents allowing their children to sell their bodies for money

Racism as pungent as cologne

Sad thing is it is by the hands of our own

Self hate is at an all new high

With whites wanting to become blacks

And blacks wanting to become whites

It is sad to see a world like this;

Where negativity is spun like a spider’s web

As we no longer love our brother’s inventions

Based on what part of the world he is from

Just because we have assumed and labelled that him

With our over sensitized clearly depicted definition of what is a terrorist

Yet the world praises other inventors

To me it is sad that persons are committing crimes

Not because of want

But because of need

Because that little baby needs to feed

On the other hand some have time on their hands

And idol time finds time for idol hands

Our TV shows showing 16 and pregnant

Where is the sexual education for these young women?

Our young men graduating on one hand

And not graduating on the other

And then people asking

What are our black brothers doing?

Well if you do not know ask them!

2015

Eclipses happening in the night

People are struggling to find what is right

Governments not being able to enforce laws

Because millions

Scratch that billions are being injected by lobbies

Who want what they want

And you damned if you deny it

2015

Where children are confused about their sexuality

As they are seeing various types of relations

And they wonder about who they are

2015 is a year that the world watched Empire

But how many of us teach our children about the greatest empire the world has ever seen

But this is a poem not a sermon

I am not a priest

I am a person who merely tells a solemn tale of all I see

2015

Mass tragedy

Countless dead bodies

And “Charlie Charlie “

Refuges travelling to “rich countries

The Pope being Latino

Wonder if Trump likes him tho!

Having to bid farewell to the 1st Black President

And seeing the Pope in Harlem

Oh what an action packed 10 months it has been

Here in 2015
