It’s on Us:

It’s on Us:

Is this the world I live in?

So very bruised, it’s heart beating but black and blue.

I might never understand your pain,

But I will stand here with you. 

I’m a powerful person, 

bold, and ready to make a change.

Just like the strong poeple out there,

Because in our country, this is what I find strange.

You say we’re all created equally,

All crafted the same under god.

So tell me why some of us seem to matter

Some even and others just odd.

I don’t know about you,

But I hope that we’re different

I hope we stand peacefully together

To create change that's significant.

Because one way or another, 

my children will not grow up in this tattered society,

For we will build a place, worth its people,

And celebrate in the variety.

I promise if you look for hate,

It’ll be there, right in your face,

But if you choose to look for love,

It’ll light your darkest days.

There’s no two sides about it

And this issue, there's nothing to discuss,

And until people understand that, 

This fight, it's on us.
