Our World

The gift is not given

 

The world does not offer silence

 

I know this because I walk through the streets

 

And observe all the violence

 

There are raves and fights and kidnappings and rapes

 

Robberies and bullying,

 

And people making sex tapes

 

You may not approve

 

And you may not agree

 

But this is what the world

 

Has turned out to be

 

I doubt there is a place

 

Where these things do not happen

 

Gangs are selling drugs,

 

And white people are rappin’

 

This is our world

 

The biggest places are prisons

 

Citizens fill up the cells

 

People are stuffed inside

 

All of the divisions

 

This is our world

 

We should not feel any pride

 

This is the place

 

Where our people reside

 

Our world is polluted

 

It is soon to end

 

Spend time with your family

 

Spend time with your friends

 

This is our world

 

It does not propose silence

 

People walk through the streets

 

Practically promoting the violence
