Why

Why

why must my mother live in a constant struggle 

why must she work herself six days a week to live

why does living have to be earned

why must life kick the unfortunate into a deeper hole while building a higher pedestal for the rich

why must we work for an easily collectible material 

Money was a test sent by god to test our mind but we ate up that temptation 

licked it clean 

so much so it became a part of us

its a parasite that eats at our health and mental state

why must we work so hard just to live when life is a right

pepole in power act like they gifted it to us when the working class has to fight just to survive on the bare minimum and some people were born with a golden spoon in there mouth

  • Fight

    Our fathers

    Mothers 

    Daughters

    Sons

    Have fought 

    When there is no time to sit

    When there’s no more patience 

    For our world 

    We stand 

    And fight

    And win

  • Taoism

    Taoism 

    Where one seeks enlightenment by shutting off their emotions 

    But how will that lead to enlightenment 

  • words

    Words 

    They hold power

    Like a gun 

    But it’s our voices that give them power

    Words are an unloaded gun

    And our voices are the bullets
