Global Oration in a Fragmented Nation

3 more months at least of Quarantine, what do you mean?

Thoughts of a world that’s clean remain distant, like a view that’s serene

Trying to ease back into the world while it’s still not safe

Is like smelling mace, hoping you won’t get a trace 

Trying to get back to normal when the world isn’t ready 

Creates a medley of problems and not solutions

I try to look at the positives, like lack the lack of pollution 

While others seek restitution or quote the constitution

Demanding to work because “this is america”

But this is global issue, Billy and you look real silly

Saying this isn’t a big deal and “make america great again” as its racist connotations attempt to be concealed. A black man can’t even go for a jog these days

Without some good old boys following closely with dismay

Many sadly said hurray when this innocent man was slayed

Bringing up bigger issues and deep seeded hate 

This quarantine should make you appreciate what you have and how we can all relate 

To each other, as brothers, sons, daughters, fathers and mothers

And look out for one another, instead of critiquing differences 

Things can clearly change in an instant 

What better time than the present to continue to learn and grow

And not just be content with what you already know

What if what you know is wrong, like the lyrics to that song

That you can’t get right but think is tight 

Why is peace and tranquility not as cool or masucline like a good fight

We’re more focused on being entertained then being sustained

Social ignorance now brings pain and it’s up for us, white people 

To not refrain from holding back at telling our fellow race what’s wrong

They’d rather not hear a swan song

But I’d rather tell the truth and stand with the unjust 

We have to acknowledge what’s wrong to gain trust

And stand up for things that disgust us, like the racism still alive

Trump’s position now allows those hate groups to thrive  

Someone is going to have to stand up and demand his demise

It isn’t easy taking down a bully

As many understand that fully, and keep quiet 

Some will riot while others will sit silenced

Intrigued yet not saddened by this unprecedented violence 

Focusing on their diet and other simple tasks

While grab asses still call the shots 

Something I can’t grasp
