The Real World

The Real World

What the real world look like?

What the real world look like,

Anybody?

I said, what the real world look like brother?

What the real world look like.

The real world looks like

Spanish speaking children in big American courts defending their humanity

White judge, white sheriff, white reporter, white interpreter, white clerk, white plaintiff,

but not one black, brown, or beige body other than the defendant

the little child defendant,

Defending their unalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

What the real world look like brother

The real world looks like

actresses, white actresses, white women putting on an act

as fingers pound three numbers that use to bring help

but are now used to deliver terrorist acts.

What we want the real world to look like is blue serving and protecting

But the real world is, blue screaming "whose streets, our streets"

Protesting protesters who protest against acts of hate and inhumanity

While allowing protesters of hate and inhumanity to march,

Torches in one hand,

Firearms in the other, chanting

"You will not replace us!"

"Blood and soil!"

What the real world look like,

Anybody?

I said, what the real world look like brother?

What the real world look like.

The real world looks like

A country of people celebrating adoption of the Declaration of Independence

While ranking 52 of 167 on the global slavery index

The real world looks like

The most advanced country skilled at advancing

Advancing everything from the rates of inequality to the rates of incarceration

The real world looks like

A country with the science to create life-saving medicines

And the foresight to place these medicines out of the reach of the people

What the real world look like?

A place of over-industrialization

Of high infant mortality

A place where the most educated low-wage workers often find themselves unemployed

A place where people continue to increase their calorie intake and gun ownership

The real world looks like lips that condemn militarized countries while hands export more weapons in exchange for monetary gain and control through continued destabilization

What the real world look like?

If you have to ask yourself,

You haven't been watching

You haven't been listening

You haven't been living, connected to what's really going on.
