Utopian Thought in a Dystopian World

I am
creative at the heart
but cautious
when
it comes to
the mind
what makes
me woman
is my ability
to show
myself
and not be
afraid
of who
I am.
Cause
tic toc
as this
clock is about to stop
I'm about
to breathe
new life
into this
dead shit
we call
equality
because
literally
in all honesty
saying we are
all equal is
bullshit.
You see
if this
was
really true
then
in society
there would
be no
higher level of status.
There would
be no
lower, upper, or middle class everything
would be equal
in the eyes of all.
But tragically
that's not the
case so sit back
and indulge
this thing called
knowledge that
I'm about to send
your way.
Cause you see
if we
change the
logic in
our thinking
creating
a new form
of mind set
showing
that we are
all people and
our social status,
race, sexual orientation,
and more
is irrelevant when
it comes
to respect and equality.
Equality is
and was the American Dream
for people of color, for people who are different,
and simply
just people in general
why shouldn't
all of us
have the
American Dream
oh wait pause
and rewind
I'm trippin this
is America
where the
American Dream
is only given
to those select few.
And in
doing so
we are all
creating our
own dystopia
when the true
goal is to
create a utopian
universe
where everyone
is supposedly
happy but
in reality you can
Never make
everyone happy
therefore start
from scratch
and come
to a common
agreement on
basic principles
of things
which is
respect and
equality
because
in the world
that's what
majority of
people want
so why not
fight for it.
