The World We Live In

This world we live in...  People are so hateful it's sucking the energy out of me. I'm tired of turning on the news, or scrolling on my news feed and seeing the same sad story. Another Black man killed at the hands of law enforcement. But for some strange reason they are exempt from the very same law that's designed to "so called protect us". Mothers are killing, neglecting/ and abusing their precious babies, men abusing and disrespecting woman or vice/versa. Black on Black Crime, hell crime in general. Every time I turn around someone posting a fight. No one breaking it up because they are too busy recording it. Females choose to forget what the words "respect yourself mean". They won't respect us if we don't respect ourselves first. It's sad to know we get high off  social media likes, c'mon this shit is crazy. The world is full SELFIES and Dumb ASSES. Y'all showing off all your assets to the damn world just for a dollar and attention. WHY? Why are we letting men define our happiness. A temporary compliment that leaves us dependent and with a life of future disappointments. I know, I'm not the only one tripping over the radio because it has gotten so out of hand. Our kids are out here singing these songs like they own them. The day one of my sons asked me if I liked Truffle Butter, I almost died. Yes we can censor what our kids see and hear but once they are out in this crazy world, whether it be a school or playing with their friends they are heavily influenced by this nonsense. Some time I find myself singing along too a catchy beat and hook. I will admit, it will have me for a minute. When I actually sit back and listen to the lyrics I cringe. We don't stand for anything until something bad happens to us. Why only then? We can come together and have one voice for injustice; So what's the problem with coming together to make sure we stay on track? We stand in lines for the latest sneaker, females think it's hot to look like these chick on these reality shows. Why do we choose to be so blind to all of this is distraction? We can make such a difference if we used our damn heads. Stop trying to keep up with the next and think about your future, your kids future. Because the way things are going isn't looking so great.
