Why is this okay?

Why is this OK?

 

Why?

Why is there so much inequality

In a world with supposed perfect society?

Why is it that in this world

Boys have more power than girls?

Why are there oceans of tears

And mountains built from fears?

Why is there war raging

So much its aging?

Why are peoples calls for ceasefire going unanswered

Has pain and hurt become a standard?

Why is grief and anger normal

Why do the nice feelings the ones that used to help feel formal.

Why is it that when you were younger

You could say the word funner

Why is it now you are older means you must be mature

Do you have to stand strong for your whole future?

Why is it so hard to prove that women are strong

Do we have to do the same thing we have been doing all along?

Why is it that so many people like the old traditions

The ones that have become addictions?

Why is it that the traditions only help those people with a certain criteria

People who fit in a certain area?

Why are the people almost always straight white cis sexist racist homophobic men?

When will this cruelty end?

Why is our life like this

When will we get our bliss?

Why are the rules

Always cruel?

Why is this OK?

Who made this OK?

This is not OK?

Why is this OK?

    Not quite what the song was intended for

    But I know of love

    That opens doors

    The love that is

  • Dear New York City

    Dear New York City,

    I don’t know what it is

    That makes me love it so much

    Maybe it’s the buildings

    That stretch towards the sky

    Forever reaching upwards

  • Field of Roses

    Have you ever seen dozens of roses?

    A field perhaps

    Covered in red beauty

    Have you ever tried walking through dozens of roses?

    Your fingertips perhaps

    Covered in red blood

    From afar roses are gorgeous
