The earth is dying
If you stop and listen
You can hear the animals crying
If you are straight, white, or christian
Your life is great, the world in your grip
But for those who are not, prepare for your world to be flipped
Willow is not peaceful like the tree
Willow will cause thousands to die and greave
Countless of animals extinct
Humans left to die on the streets
Our atmosphere is burning
The heat increases as the world keeps turning
Countless of lives left uncertain
Willow will kill us all and close the curtains
They care so much about life
But only when it’s unborn
For if your a woman there’s always a price
Forced to give birth as your body is torn
Piece by piece until there’s nothing left
Your right to choose became a victim of theft
For you do not choose
Come on this isn’t news
Who lives or who dies
Is up for the government to decide
The fetus is the priority
Even though women are the majority
The men decide if we live or if we die
Like we traveled back in time
We kneel on the ground with our hands tied
Head down with agony and cries
Look up and prepare to die
For if we choose or if we loose
Prepare to be executed
By the men who saluted
To the flag in which represents
Freedom for those who are not oppressed
Born in a world of right or wrong
Born in world of yes or no
Born in a world of weak or strong
Born in a world of girl or boy so
Tell me, is it fair that we are forced to share
The same mind, of what is right
Even if we disagree or fight
If you are born man but are not man
Then you should be able to choose than
If or if not your sex is your identity
Please ignore their insensitivity
Because you or me or she or he or they or it
Should not be stollen or told we are not fit
To be in this country in which we were born
For we have rights that cannot be torn
From the bodies of our families or friends
Or from strangers because in the end
You are who you are
She is who she is
He is who he is
It is what it is
Eduction is the enrichment and embodiment of our society
We learn as we grow in endless varieties
Yet overtime the government has learned to cover
What we need to discover
We want to know the truth
It’s our dying wish as a unison of youth
To be educated on what our ancestors have done and been through
So history does not repeat and we start brand new
To become great and whole we must know
How the united states has evolved and grown
It starts from the roots of the Natives and Africans who built this country on their backs
Yet we try to suppress this knowledge and therefore lack
The unison of our people
Surrounded and brought down by evil
The corrupt government is which we all know far to well
Has locked us away in this white washed cell
We do not know the history
Because they want their evilness to be a mystery
But we know all to well
If this goes on any longer, Thomas Jefferson tells
That if a government becomes destructive of our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Then it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it
And we will abolish it and rain down our judgement
On how we see fit
America, the bells of freedom ring
The country in which is paradise
Yet this statement is embarrassing
The congress men are rolling the dice
They do what they do because they are who we choosed
Except we didn’t but yet this isn’t news
We are a democracy
Yet we are full of hypocrisy
They tell us what to do with every task
But they’ll be dammed if their told to wear a mask
This is America
We are told to behave and pay taxes
Sit back and relax
The government has your best interest
Until you don’t fit their agenda
Then they can belittle you and still be just
Because that is their propaganda
So allow me to say
Welcome to America
Enjoy your stay

I'm overwhelmed. You don't mean 'enjoy' literally, do you? 'Feel the pain' you should tell 'em.
I would like to see each of those topics turned into separate short punchy pieces. That would do it....but what would I know?
