This feeling

What is this feeling I can't get rid of
Deep in my heart, that pains my soul
To the point where I feel like life is a race
And a gun is the goal, because I have no future
Not in this world, not on this planet
Not with you people, It hurts me dearly to say this
but not everyone was created equal
Some of us can take a life just because you wear a uniform
Others make sure that the hungry starve, because they didn't conform and think the same way that you do
If I wear a badge I can beat a man just for looking the wrong way
And tell his family that that he had a gun and do it all again the next day!
If I study hard, I'll go to collage and spend a lifetime paying it off
If I hate to fight and look for peace, then to the world I'm considered soft
If I fight back, in their eyes I'm considered a menace
Why would I ever want to bring a child up into this?
I had a dream once, but in my dream I could walk down the street
Without feeling unsafe because of the fact that I ain't packing heat!
I'm tired of living in this bullshit that we call a society
I want to live where we can love, and where there's variety
Want to live where we can live and never be judged
I want to live in a world where no one ever holds a grudge
I want to live in a world where piece is no longer a dream
But with the way the world is now, that will never happen it seems.....
