SOLID

I am not going to waver from my beliefs,
Even though they are different from those around me,
I see the world as a racial, frictional place and things are given and taken on terms of race,
Others would call me fanatical, out of place,
I see the world as a place that gives and takes based on your class, social status, color, religion, that's just the way it is,
Why can't I just speak the reality I see,
It's not made up it's no joke,
I have these feelings and I will be strong,
I see the USA as a declining world power, There are drastic changes being made,
But we will never be where we were,
Who is to blame?
Greed, shame, there are many reasons to move forward yet retain the past in practice,
It is man/woman kind,
We are good yet we are evil,
We see the truth,
But we shield ourselves from it by all means,
I see this country as a country that needs its people to step it up and care a little more,
About the world,
There are drastic changes being made, everyday
The new administration is under scrutiny and pressure,
If you think it has nothing to do with race, then the reality has not set in that we need a change,
Racism has taken a new face,
I took care of an old woman,
She astounded me with her words,
She stated that "n******" were the downfall of Owosso MI: where I live,
I see racism everyday,
We are better, as a nation, but racism has just taken a new face,
President Obama will face opposition for many reasons,
You can bet one of those reasons is the deep down subconscious embedded feeling called racism that exists today.


I am not trying to be negative or be down and out about things I just feel its OK to reach in and take out the bad and examine it to the fullest potential. For those of you who do not agree with me or feel I am just a fanatical Liberal....leave your comments they would be greatly appreciated.
