Poetic Rant:

I'm disappointed in my people today

for the lack of knowledge......

We're not taking the time to learn,

for most of us our minds remain cripple.

We refuse the truth when it's given,

instead of  understanding what's going on

around us, we out there killing each other

for no reason.

We can't admit that we need to first start

working on ourself, before we can do anything else.

We lack the will power to become more driven,

more willing to listen,

more willing to pay attention.

We lack the mentally to understand that,

TeamDarkskin Vs TeamLightskin is used to divide us,

and the fact that this is true, makes me really mad, 

almost making me want to cuss.

I just want my people to use common sense and 

think about this,

There is avocado green, lime green, bright green, 

forest green, navy green, etc,

all different greens, all different shades,

 but still in the same family,

this goes the same for my people, we all come

in different shades, don't be fooled so easy.

Pay attention to what is not said instead of what is said,

understand that  knowledge is all around you,

if you seek you will find, we all need to keep that in mind.
