The World We Live In

We live in a world where it's okay to have fuckboys but as soon as we have one girl who has dated more than one guy in a year, she is suddenly a slut.

We see a girl pregnant and the first thing we think of her is that she is a disgusting child but no one seems to care where the father is or why is he not by her side.

We see a woman raising a family alone and everyone seems not to care but as soon as we see a man raising a kid everyone freaks out and tries to help.

We live in a world where if you get straight A's you are called a nerd and you become 'unpopular' but as soon as you learn how to twerk and speak ghetto, you are suddenly accepted in this society.

We live in a world where people enjoy to smoke a cigarette that harms you but as soon as you pass it up, you are called a wimp.

We live in a world where if you don't have the newest smart phone, everyone makes fun of it.

We live in a world where the rich go to fancy schools with nice desk and clean halls and the poor go to school with tagged walls, gum filled under their desk, and the restrooms smelling like marijuana.

We live in a world where the idea that whites are smarter than coloreds lives but as soon as you see an educated colored, everyone makes fun of that.

We see a homeless and think it's their fault for not graduating high school but we never think why they didn't graduate.

We live in a world where some students have to drop out of school because their family is poor and they need an extra hand.

We live in a world where global warming is starting to affect us but no one seems to care because we have beaches that we threw trash on the other day but it's okay, because we left the cleaning to the homeless who were put in jail for not having a home.

We live in a world where police brutality is getting stronger and people get enraged at the thought but the only ones who do anything is the family of the person who was brutally killed. They feel the pain because they knew they couldn't do anything when the gun was pointed to their heads.

Oh how could I go on and on about our mistakes in this world but I don't want to go on because I don't want to be called a savage for speaking my mind out. I would rather be called a nerd because I know my momma did not raise me to be a wild animal. And if I go on, I am afraid that it would simply just take up more paper and I don't intend to kill another tree because the tree has done nothing but give me oxygen.

I just want to say that no one cares how this world will look like in 30 years because everyone is wrapped up on their six inch phone, worrying about how many likes they have gotten from the selfie they just posted online. We live in a world where love doesn't exist no more because apparently it's okay to lie and betray. Because the other never thinks of how shattered they can leave someone.

Do you want to know why there is no change to this world? It's just because this is the world we live in.
