Replying to a comment on:
I can't win (Free verse) by nolan
it is knowing that no matter how hard you try;
you will never succeed
and yet you still try
why do we care so much as to the lives of others?
or is the question
why don't we care about them enough?
every year in our educational systems
set up and funded by your heros (the government)
we learn about social justice, equality
but they appear to just be words on paper
do you actually take time to stop and think?
maybe i didn't need those shoes or that shirt?
and maybe my fashion statement doesn't reflect me as a person?
did you ever think that your ignorance is oppression?
are you happy?
you're having fun right?
just trying to fit in, be the cool kid
you never thought you were hurting anyone
just trying to have fun
that is all it is about-fun, right?
until you cross the lines
the lines that allow you to enter REALITY
you can't have fun knowing that oppression is caused
not just by our beloved government, by religion
or even the Taliban
but oppression is cause by you
and i can't win
because you are me
