Systemic oppression does not exist,
If you are the writer of your own life.
Yes,
You may be discriminated against,
But,
Who are you to point fingers,
Complain and fight?
You can either quit and conform
Or,
Make an uprise.
Whatever you decide…
Maybe,
The system you must disempower is the entitlement coursing through our veins,
When most of us collect checks just to check off a wishlist we’ve made in vain…
Hard to admit,
I know.
When we keep seeing injustices grow and grow.
But,
Things seem to change more when the change in your actions show…
Actions like,
Complimenting your beloved rather than tearing them down over envy.
Or,
Helping one another eat instead of robbing each other over jealousy.
We all have dreams.
Why shouldn’t you encourage those around you to chase that,
In lieu of a felony…
Maybe,
One day we’ll realize how we had the ‘power’ this whole time.
If only we can stop walking blind,
Lend a hand to our brethren,
And fight for a better future rather than taking their lives…
Like it or not,
Change begins within ourselves.
Something you must decide on for yourself,
Unless you rather keep burning in that fiery Hell,
We all create when we’re too afraid of the success we are capable of…
