“Diversity” by Trinity Davis
What if the world
was all the same
and everyone played
the same game.
There wouldn't be
any fun.
Leaving you stuck with
nothing but confusion.
Complexion comes in
varieties.
And it's something so
beautifully.
One person might be white
one might be black.
But that's what makes us
Unique.
Diversity.
“The American Dream” by Kevin Rodriguez
The American Dream was a lie,
Its rubble a sad reminder.
We watched it crumble and die,
as the government put on its blinders.
"All men are born equal," they say
but discrimination goes unchecked.
Whether of color, trans, or gay,
be ready to face the neglect.
"Separate church and state," but no.
They use religion to their favor.
Police mistreat the people
and only for the color of their skin.
Many have died at the hand of evil.
They get a slap on the wrist for their sin,
too many horrors have been let slide,
too many lives destroyed or lost.
So to those who think this is justified,
was your comfort worth the cost?
