A child arrives.
She believes she is a princess, a crown on her head.
Completely oblivious to what the media blares…
It blares that if she is overweight, she is not good enough.
It blares that she must starve herself to correct her ‘bluff.’
It will make this princess believes she is ugly,
But the media won’t acknowledge that it is corrupt.
A child arrives.
Too young to vocalise his thoughts,
And too young to care.
A mere infant, unprejudiced and unaware…
Unaware that because he was born black,
He’ll always be labeled a criminal.
Unaware that his colour classifies him ‘stereotypical’
But society still focuses on the pigment, rather than the individual.
A child arrives.
Practically a baby, she can't comprehend what is fair.
This baby cries because her brother’s blood was shed everywhere…
Everywhere her brother went, he was bullied during his play.
Her brother was shun because he was "gay."
Her brother decided his life wasn’t worth it,
And he took his own life today.
Society will discriminate for anything you are.
You’ll never be “up to par.”
When in hatred are we still bound?
When will we tear the walls of discrimination down?
How, from this, will we rise above?
Where is the love?
