I have no disgust for the law
Though I still see people
Fight for the cause,
The cause of defeat
For the mind of mankind
And that the world
Has one light to let shine,
Cops who drop a man down
Families who can’t speak a sound,
Graves that withstand so much pain
But sink lower from the tears of strain,
Rain that slams down on the ground
For years we have dreaded that sound,
For light when there’s dark
Can start a new spark,
And yet we still only scream
MAN DOWN!!!!!!!!
I see pain in the eyes of so many
We lose but don’t know we’re winning,
We praise God
Even though we stay sinning,
So why can’t the world
Be so forgiving,
Wise beyond years
Of recognition,
Though lives are cut short
Like incisions,
I see monsters that aren’t under beds
And kids who stay never fed,
I see schools who give up on a kid
When all the kid needs
Is someone to give a sh*t,
Stressed beyond minds of a million
Say’s the adults
But what about all the children,
We say no terrorists allowed in the states
But we all bring out terror
That’s our fate,
So never let your mind fall out
Or you’ll be the next,
MAN DOWN !!!!!!
The idea of how the world is seen in our own point of view, is what drives us to do more. The way that we perceive things is not always right and is not always wrong, but it is an act of being human. What’s your Perspective?

I think people don’t see a way out of the darkness. sometimes what you looking for to accomplish is right in front of us we just need to keep looking forward to fine a way out or at least a sign to keep going.

This is powerful poetry. I think we need to express what we see or what we think we see in order to understand it and in order to see in new ways. In a way this poetry can speak about the differences between a “fixed” and a “growth” mindset.

I believe that if you have a dream you should chase it and never give up. Being who ever or what ever you want to be in life should be your main goal. Self improvement is at the hands of yourself and you should utilize every opportunity given to do so.
