The Division will be our Downfall
To think that there was once a time,
A time when speaking up for what is right wasn’t crime like.
A time when you could speak up for what you believe
and wouldn’t be thrown into judgemental limelight
A time when basic human rights weren’t viewed as political things.
And people recognized corruption and the destruction it brings.
Snap out of it.
It’s 2020.
The times are quite different now.
It’s all a competition.
An argument.
People only care about why those opposing them are wrong.
And don’t even think about how their own point is right.
With continuous ignorance, our future will look less like day and more like night
It’s this toxicity,
That will lead to our downfall.
The year 2020 needs an instant recall
To think of the children now, listening with their naive ears.
And the cycle will repeat, for the foreseeable years.
