it’s scary
you scare us

you promise a free world, a loving country, but you’re separating them
families, generations, legacies,
all ripped from them

it’s scary,
you scare us

you tell us you’ll protect us,
defend us
but invade and steal, then
point at us and scream “NOW YIELD”

it’s scary you scare us
how can we grow strong when
we’re so divided ,nightmarish

you’ve made innocents your victim,
now declaring hell on your people

you scare us, you scare me
no kings

mercy on me baby, have mercy on me
hurtin’ badly, can you see we’re hurtin’ badly

My life
is not worth more than yours.
Your life
is not worth more than mine.
We are both Human.
We are both Deserving.
We are both worth more than hatred.

How can we fight together when we are separated?
Our differences should bring us together,
not act as our downfall.

I was never one to be much into politics.
Boy, has that changed.
I now will do my homework,
cast my vote,
and use my voice to Truly
"make America great again"
If only in the way that I think it can actually be great.

Where human decency matters more than white pride.
Where being respectful matters more than being overpowering.
Where being educated matters more than always being right.

My life
is not worth throwing away.
Your life
is not worth giving up.
We are both able to use our voices,
to be heard,
and maybe, just maybe,
Impact the country,
if not the world,
For the better.
I'm learning a lot more about the world than ever before, and I don't like it. I'm ready to change it. Are you?

Wake up!
Open your eyes
draw back the curtains

In the darkness
no one can hear you dream.
