Poem - #25 | Society Kills

Society Kills

Society loves killing,
So cruel is society
That it tells us who we are;
By the way we dress,

By the scars on our wrists.

Society telling us that
We won't become successful;

Off of these collections of

So called poetry.

Society, playing us like we are a damn game

Like we are the little pieces
That move from from one space to another;

Telling us where we stand

Where we belong.

Society, judging who we are,

Because of who we have been

In our pasts

Which decides what we can be,

By what we have been before.

Society portraying discrimination,

By treating a man different for his skin colour;

Like he doesn't deserve as much as a man of no colour,

Like his family is not as important,

Like he is too dumb to speak up against them.

Society, killing off it's own people,

So many deaths

Killing it's children by getting in their heads

And making them feel they are not good enough

The children feel so out of place

They feel like they're pushed around

And end their own lives.

Society, falling down on our people

Poisoning their minds

Like acid rain,
Ridding our minds of any hopes or goals or dreams,
Society loves killing.
