We are still live in a world where racism is very alive,
We have just chosen to look the other way,
Where interracial couples are still looked at funny,
Where a black woman and a white man is assumed to be a slut-payer relationship,
Where the word nigga can be used by black folk but is offensive when used by white skin,
Where getting a Visa is still a matter of skin color,
Where getting service is better if you are white,
Modern Day Slavery,
We still live in a world where submissive and woman are synonymous,
Where a feminist is branded man-hating because she tries to break free from the status quo,
Where women are judged based on their ability to procreate
and stifled progression because of said children,
We still live in a world where you ask about a woman's morals
her sex game comes to mind...slut shaming,
But a man, ask about he's morals and integrity, strength, leadership comes to mind..
We still live in a world of stigma against queer folk,
Afraid to even think of the possibility that we are all human,
We all aspire to inspire
love-hate, despair-hope, struggle-build,
Want to be loved, queer or not,
We live in a world where every morning at 6 in the am we drag our bodies to work
like zombies,
for a job we feel absolutely no passion for,
We are slaves to capitalism,
We hustle and grind to chase that paper,
It's never enough though,
Bills!Bills!Bills!!!!
We sell our souls to the devil for that paper chase,
I blame capitalism.
We live in a world where slavery has taken modern forms,
Look at human trafficking,
Look at women who will remain in relationships...battered in the name of financial security,
Look at the drugs we take to numb our souls,
Slaves to the toke, the sip, the injection, the inhale,
Worst of all though,
We live in a world where our minds are held captive,
Afraid to think,
Afraid to express,
Afraid to break those gender stereotypes that plague us,
Afraid to break religious myth,
Afraid to accept people for people,
Afraid to question that which was handed to us by ancestry,
Afraid to look outside the societal box,
Afraid to celebrate diversity,
Once we free our minds from mental slavery only then can we emancipate ourselves from modern day slavery....
