Racial Tensions
Racial tensions.
And minds in a variety of dimensions.
Drifting and distanced,
Light years away.
Fictioned to delude,
A reality no longer...
Tethered to truth.
From them gone to fade and stay lost.
Bombarded we are with a craze these days.
Common sense and the consciousness of it?
Has left to leave a past to have had.
Reminisced by those growing older fast.
As something once done.
The younger ones,
Made to believe...
That a thinking to do independently,
Are mythical tales.
To repeatedly tell,
By those who are older and hoping to sell...
An acceptance of ethnic diversity.
They have been told is the main reason,
Their quality of life to live on Earth...
Has become with it done a living HELL!
Anyone in the right mind,
Would NOT want to dwell.
Racial tensions.
Walls and fences built as a defense.
To prevent,
Theories of racism given consent.
Of a revealing of a truth,
Resented taught to teach in schools.
Has left the minds of a future generation,
Drugging themselves...
Out of their confusing minds hoping to find,
Somewhere in a distance light years away...
Lost and wishing to remain that way.
Gone.
From minds abused.
Is ambition, desire, discipline and motivation.
Gone.
Is a future.
Done with a taking our youth too.
Like an overloaded blown out fuse!
And without enlightenment?
What and or who...
Has the ability to create their replacement?
'Come on.
Will you stop that.
What a dire and negative assessment,
Of the times we are living these days.'
'Dire?
Negative?
How more positive can a reality to see it,
Be addressed?
And my comments to express them,
Is not an opinion.
As much as it is an observation.'
'Oh?
Well...
Take your observations somewhere else.'
'Cool!
You have any suggestions?'
'No...
I do not.
I happen to be a conservative thinker.
And not one of those...
Heart bleeding emotional weeping liberals!
And besides...
The bowl of cherries from which I've picked,
Not a one of them had pits!'
