I exist in my comfort zone.

In California where we are earthquake prone.

Don’t often have to put up with the racism that others endure

I wonder from what I see happening on in the news

Is there even a cure?

I was fooled into thinking that maybe we were advancing

Having a black man as president was certainly entrancing

But this was not really the case

The way thing are set up now, our black me are set up to fail

It is not just a  tale

Our black people are living through hell

Case after case, we see that it is all still about race

Men being killed simply because of their skin

Or being locked up serving ten

We are moving backwards

Lowering our countries standards

Electing a man with a temperament of a child

And that to put it honestly is only mild

It is now ok to say and do the things that were once publicly frown upon

When the president is awake before the break of dawn

Tweeting false stories of what he thinks is going on

Who is to say what someone else is saying is so wrong

My hope is that America awakes and does what it takes

See’s that everyone should be given equal opportunities and stakes

That the disorganization and chaos in our country unites

I am not sure if this is even possible

But for our own sakes I know we must put in our best effort
