Nutshell of Election

Equality to open minded

Race to friendships

Money for change

 

2016 was change

More freedom

So I thought

 

Trump, Trump, Trump

Equality now is man

Race turned to prejudice

Money is power

 

Make America Great Again they said

All I see is fear, bigotry, hate

What do they mean by ‘great again’

 

History repeats itself

Hitler, Stalin, Castro

Same views

Trump, Putin, Jong Un

Supports each other's views

 

Where did America go wrong?

Mass killings in other countries

Police brutality in ours

Government is crooked

 

I want change

They want control

Fear to make us not speak against

Race to divide what we overcame

 

America did change

Is this 1900s or 2000s

Why in my lifetime I ask

 

There's more social media then social reforms

More recognition for an internet trend than a movement

Parties, drugs, sex

That is why

 

My generation cares for popularity not humanity

Orwell did say Ignorance is strength

No wonder it’s in my lifetime

X can now control the wasted youth
