I Live In An Uncorrected World.
More So Like Unpolitical But They Just Keep Our Minds Curropted In Their Own Way.
I'm Fighting Off These Thoughts Of Whether I'm Right Or If White Is Wrong.
Mind You That I Have Children That Have To Grow Up In This World.
But The Way Things Are Going On I Have To Teach Them How To Live Life With Out Being Shot For Being Black.
See This World Is Crazy But Here We Are Trying To Fight For Black Lives.
But Everybody Wants To Label Me A Racist Because I See Things Differently Now.
If I Wasn't Black I Wouldn't Have To Worry About Being Looked At In A Different Way.
Staring At Me As If I'm Indifferent But The Way I Was Raised Everyone Mattered.
Was I Blinded By The Rightful Teachings Of My Mother Or Was She Just Trying To Keep Me Safe From Reality?
I'm Hurting Because Of This Uncorrected World, And At Times I Don't Know Why.
They Say It's Life Shit Happens But Come On Let's Be Real.
At Least I Thought This Is Why All These Wars Were Being Fought. To Prevent These Horrible Things From Happening.
Why Is Race Still A Problem? Or Has It Always Been But Just Covered Up Until Shit Hit The Fan?
Uncorrected World What Are We Teaching The Next Generation Besides Hate And Separation?
Uncorrected World Why Have You Lied To Us And Treated Us Different?
When I Did My Research I Opened My Eyes To A New World So I Try To Stand Tall. But Some How You Still Try To Find A Way To Break Me Down.
Since When Do Police Kill Unarmed Innocent Black Men And Women And Get Away With It?
But Then Again We Been Played Like Chess For Years. Programmed By What You Beat Us With So When We Speak Out You Try To Break Us.
I Can No Longer Sit In Silence And Wonder If I Will Be Next. I Have To Protect Myself By Any Cost.
If I Can You Cause I Really Need You Would You Treat Me As If I'm The Suspect And Put Me In The Grave Next?
Uncorrected World When Will You Be Corrected? When Will You Pay Attention To What We Are Saying?!
Or Will You Just Continue To Shut Us Up And Act Like We Don't Exist?
Uncorrected World When Will You Learn? When Will There Be Justice And Peace?

BLACK is BEAUTIFUL MARIE ~ Believe it ! I'm white but for me all people are my Brothers & Sisters and we are all the same beneath our pigmentation. I have dated colored Girls (you still get some stares in the UK !) and believe me you are special ! I went to SOUTH AFRICA and when I took stock ~ everyone was BLACK and on the bus and in the store I was the one who was different ~ BUT ~ nobody shot me because I was white. Martin Luther King had a dream ~ Barack Obama had a vision of racial equality in thr USA. We have to keep dreamin' Sister and all have vision of a "Better Land! ~ AMEN I hope the USA dump Trump and elect Hillary who will continue BO's fight for racial equality. Our new PM in the UK is a Lady and she has two "People of Color" in her cabinet ~ AMEN. Youirs BRIANi
Thanks Brian. I do see that things are different in different countries and I am thankful for your words of encouragement. I think I'm more appualed at the fact that this is still going on. Especially when children have to go through this and see it. I raise my kids to live everyone and that we are all beautiful. I am more concerned for the next generation I guess you can say. But I do get exactly where you are coming from.
