Society
“Society”
Cars honking
People passing
No one stopping
They see the needy
They don't care
To share a penny
Just one to spare
Off to work they go
Talking on phones
Bumping into others
Is there an apology?
No.
People simply don't care
It's all about "me" now
There's no such thing as share
Society is many things
Good, bad, caring, careless
But above all, it's judgemental
You don't live in a mansion?
Then, ew, go away
I'm sorry this is all I have
I don't care, you shouldn't stay
A white man walks into a store
A black man follows
All eyes on the African
People are now alert. What if he does something?
I'm sorry I have dark skin
I don't care, you look more suspicious
But what about the white man?
Never mind him, he's white
Why's society like this?
I should make a stand
A woman in a burqa
A man in a kafir
Oh no! They're apart of Isis
Let's get out of here!
We're just following our religion
I don't care, you'll kill me!
Please walk away and leave us be
Why's society like this?
There is no clear answer
It has been like this for years
If only-
*BOOM* A bomb went off!
Hurry, let's kill the person responsible
No! Please stop. Violence only leads to violence
Hush young girl! What do you know?
I'm just trying to speak the truth...
Who cares what you think?
You should be worried about letting that much skin show
I can't wait to meet your girlfriend!
Actually, he's my boyfriend
What? But you're a male
So? Love is love no matter who you love
I didn't know you were gay. You're so weird
I'm sorry about my sexuality...I wish I could just disappear
Hey, do you like this suit?
Why are you wearing a suit to prom?
I feel more comfortable in men's clothing...
OMG! Are you trans.?
Yes, I am. I wanted-
Ugh, you freak...what is wrong with with you?
I'm sorry the way I feel is an issue
What's all over your arms?
Are those scars?
Um, well, yes
Do you cut yourself?
I only do it to relieve pain...
Oh my gosh! You're so messed up!
Please stop, you're making me insane
This is exactly what I mean
Society judges people for being themself and frowns upon those who are like others
So what exactly should we be?
Everyone preaches "No one is Perfect" and yet, they act the exact opposite
Be yourself! Ugh, yourself isn't good enough
Be normal! Why are you such a follower?
Everyone has their own journey of life, and only you can decide what to do with it…
