Let’s learn through the past and present to lead our lives towards something better.
These wreckage of issues and situations that came before us must be put out with a fight.
It might’ve came through family, friends, a neighborhood or a messed up ideaology.
I’ll never deny the faults of high power.
But there comes ultimate accountability and responsibility for detrimental decisions.
No more blaming outsiders for the problems.
No more dependence on the government.
No more changing one mindset.
Build your character and redeem yourself
Build that money that’ll shape your house.
Cause soon your house demolishes as you perish.
I’ll never deny the evolution of humanity
But please be careful on your dependence
On the ones you trust
The ones you hate
The materials you adore
And the time you got.
If you know who you are at heart
Then don’t allow makeup to conceal yourself
Concealed in the shape of
Comments that wrecks the nerve
Likes that boosts your adrenaline
Hate that fuels your response
And thoughts that questions yourself
natural body
natural skill
natural beauty
And natural elements of this life can’t be taken for granted.
Guarding it for life because once it’s violated those scars will bring flashbacks.
A new realization allows me to connect to all of us
Old generations
that are full of ignorance
to coming of age
to a new society
to taboo topics
and the self awareness
to who we can be
Admit the struggles
once faced in life
Is this a warning
Or is it advice?
Is it love
Or is it hate?
You consider the value it means to you
As the messenger of this poem is only here to settle you into an endless story.
Sayquan! I really do think you need to submit this poem to a contest of a journal. Consider looking through submittable when you have the time. This is an incredible insight to the inner machinations of a generation so reliant on validation, but the way we might not release history repeats. A never-ending cycle… chills.
