"Whatever you do comes back at you."


What were are and what we will be

Is pre decided for us already

Its a fake reality, the world we live in today

There are ups and downs and in actuality

We know, we can’t really get everything we want


And for some, it is harder than others

For the color of our skin may not be as fair as our brothers and sisters

In other words, we may not look like others in our society today


People take one look at me and already

They determine my personality

Race, gender, my past

Yet no one really understands

What’s actually hiding under our masks


The anger that we as human beings muster

The ringing in our brains go louder

Just as we see the harm we do to one another


Unable to control the words we say

There are many mistakes made

That we simply cannot erase

For there is global warming

And all sorts of pollutions 

Air, plastic, light and Noise

But really, we are not here to talk about the environment


But our unjust society

The way those presumptuous people feel about my kind

And many others that I see

Lurking on the streets day and night

Present to see that they are not being treated right

Simply just because they may not appear to be white


And that is my point exactly

Though not all people are racist entirely

But it is quite common in our world today

To see that people are harming others horrifyingly

Since their appearance varies

From your very own


And that is important to understand

Since this is the land for all

Or so it is portrayed, yet it leaves me appalled

To see that some of us are still not welcome


I mean, even after all this time

Immigrants and natives working side by side

Since 20 thousand years ago when immigrants first arrived

We are still not being treated right
