we have to go to high school because it increases our knowledge of the world, but that girl wasn’t tossing and turning, she was late this morning because her hair wasn’t curled. we have to go to high school because it makes our parents proud, but you can’t get to class on time because you’re afraid of the mean girl crowd. we might as well be deaf and blind if we are terrified of speaking our opinion because our thoughts are echoing too loud in our mind.

we as adults teach that christopher columbus was a stand-up guy. he unrightfully stole land for profit, so i’m no longer a believer of that lie. columbus killed husbands and fathers in order to get paid, then proceeded to slaughter their women if he couldn’t get laid. imagine how they felt after not being able to fight for what they lost? we say it’s okay because we were taught, not how, but what to think. isn’t that called being brainwashed? we need to instruct the truth! that starts with refusing to withhold information from our youth!

we live in america: home of the free because of the brave. have we forgotten about the warriors who fought and died to own and torture dark-coloured slaves? if we weren’t programmed, than we could catch all of these horrible things with just a glance. we feel the need to feed millions of starving babies in haiti, but we can’t give the kids begging on our own streets a chance. that’s not the way i’m raising my children, and i don’t care if you hate me because i’m not stuck in a trance.

we are children, women, and men. don’t you think it’s time to end how we pretend? we taunt each other to deal with our own pain. if we only live once, why do you keep treating it like a silly game? martin luther king had a dream, but apparently that wasn’t enough to unite our states into a team. the outrageous way we objectify each other should make us want to scream!

we let rape culture play on the radio at a deafening high. is that what you want your daughter to be listening to? it leaves victimized women to blame themselves, and sometimes these women are urging to die, trust me it’s true. we leave the rest of the female population scared to death because the culprit is free to go anywhere under the blue sky. we can’t let mankind become simple statistics. if we keep letting this happen, we all might as well become deaf and blind.
