This Message Is For You
It’s time the world sees your debut
I have a message for you.
I see what you’re going through.
No, I don’t know you
Or what it is to wear your shoes.
All I know, with injustice: we all lose.
So I won’t be silent: I refuse.
When each of us has power to choose.
We can be the change for something new.
We can be the bold among the few.
We can be ones standing in solidarity, who
Will say to the world “we stand for you!”
We purge out prejudice views,
No one has the right to abuse,
We will speak out the unjust taboo,
Together we can be a societal glue
Surely humanity is not so askew,
For a cultural and societal renew.
I ache for what we can’t undo.
Generational pain a permanent tattoo,
Surely now this is our cue.
Basic kindness isn’t hard to do.
You are worthy! Do you know it’s true?
You’re enough just because you’re you!
Not because of the street where you grew.
Or the career you might pursue.
It’s time the world sees your debut,
It’s time the world sees you for YOU!
*Big love to every reader, likes, subscribers and tippers! You are the reason I write.
