Control

Black

White
Gender
Sexuality
Nationality
Race
 
Just a few words
They use to separate us
Why
 
Power
That's why
They know if we keep fighting
Amongst ourselves
They can control us
They can use us
 
They fear what they don't understand
So they call it evil
And they get everyone on the bandwagon
Like a bunch of suckers
 
Don't let them use you
Don't let them control you
There is nothing wrong with people who are different

  • Friendship

    Well said. Your poem addresses issues of identity, including race, gender, sexuality, nationality, and power dynamics. It critiques the societal tendency to categorize and separate individuals based on superficial characteristics and highlights the importance of recognizing our common humanity.

            Such true words Tony, those in power are the corrupt ones in our world.
