We‘re alright

Note: This one’s actually a rap song, but you can read it as a poem I guess. Just didn’t want it to disappear in the lyrics section, yk

Long time ago there was no question how to be a man
And there was no question how we give a chance
Times ago all this changed, what is wrong with you?
Why do you think spreading hate is what you‘re supposed to do?
In the beginning was no question what is human
Switch flipped and we still don‘t know what we‘re doing
We give the love, all we get is refuse
If we go on like that our lifes will get abused

And we‘re still sorting colours and genders
Kick the others out the entrance
We don’t wanna change our lifes
But tell them all how they change theirs
I‘m not priest nor I have influence
But if a kid like me can see this
See you‘re all just pretenders
Or you‘re shut up in the real world
Everybody tells us girls „you don’t get that high“
Wants us all to shut it down and just „live you‘re lifes“
We get the same chances now but it all is different in some minds
Please don’t complain, you must be happy with your life
„Refugees are criminals and with these friends I can‘t be racist“
Fuck tell you‘re lies an other maybe he believes that shit
You say you‘re strong don‘t wanna hear bout this
They‘re just waiting for a tear so they can tear you down and laugh bout it
Social Media, female broadcast on the game
Hinding in the comments cause their scared of talking face to face
They say „change is great, but keep my name please out of there“
Guess in the evening they‘re all crying bout it in the mirror
Handicaps, thats a whole other topic
You think they‘re gross, you don‘t want to see a pic bout it?
Same thing, thats a statement about humanity
We‘re all fucked up and just keeping us our enemies

The sense of war
Why are we fighting with guns?
Why are we killing each other?
Life is a game of chess, we’re pons
You can say you don’t want
But you will
It’s the thrill
That’s what you want

You say you‘ve done a lot, but I can barely see a difference
You’d die for the cup but sleeping when it‘s bout existence
Fuck Corona and the world here dying slow from heat
As long as we can hit the road and drive our cars in full speed
We all got the same problems nation for nation
Why are we still working against each other, not assembled?
Your suffering from the money, all you get is the pain
When did we stop to see our people as one thing?
I say this is a fight cause a fight is never over
And all that comes with time is that our problems getting older
We‘re full of scare, anger, hopeless and we feel the pain
Maybe in the future someone‘s able to go and make the change

I haven’t talked to God yet
But I have listened to Kendrick
He said “go be humble!”
So I wrote this

I‘m alright

That’s something I wrote years ago - damn Corona was still a thing back then. This is my first kind of “poem”, hope y’all like it and can feel as frustrated about society as I was when I wrote this. Nah jokes on me you don’t have to, but I think it’s still an important topic, yk?
