If I Could Change One Thing

Location

I turn on the news

Rape, murder, missing

Those words have become boring to me

A black boy has been shot

The white man who killed him goes home free

Bullshit

What has this world come to?

A little girl has just been hit

She'd be alive right now if he'd called a cab

We have become consumed by selfishness

Another innocent life has just been taken by a gun

Just another "wrong place at the wrong time"

As if it's the victims fault...

HA

Why are we starting to justify this madness?!

If I could change one thing I'd get rid of all this bullshit

I'd turn on the news

I'd see people helping one another

Loving one another

Just enjoying life

Oh how that would be something
