You know, sometimes I wish I could go back. You know, to the days I had no worry in the world, when I didn't have to worry about being naive, about opening up my heart and not being scared. just everyone loving each other, and living life the way it should be. Although, I feel that within the last five years things have been the opposite.
We are living in a generation that people are scared to do anything. People are angry, disappointed, and ready to fight for what they believe they deserve, doing whatever they think it is necessary to obtain that goal.
Everyone now is suspicious or even scared of their own shadow just because of the problems we think will fade away-- but believe it or not, it is the start of it.
Starting with the killing of Trayvon Martin, everything has gone down hill. It is sad to think that none of us are safe. Not at school, night clubs, or even at church. Brothers and sisters-- we are divided. Divided in such a way that no one is able to trust anyone. As a whole, I believe that sometimes we miss the whole picture. We tend to worry more about what is trending on Facebook or Instagram, we love sharing funny and corny videos of strangers but then again we don't hardly ever have conversations about racism, about people struggling and families hurting-- and when we do or even IF we do, it is mostly for like a day or two.
We get into a couple of arguments on social media and then move on.
But then what happens next I ask?
You see, until we don't stand together as a community, the family that we are we will never over come this. Seeing kids cry, families splitting up and people hurting over things that we all thought we overcame over the years, breaks my heart. I fear for my family members, my friends and peers. The fact that we don't know if we will go back home today is terrifying.
But, you know what is worse, the fact that we now have a president in which we are supposed to confide in and turn to when we as a society have a problem... but it's funny because it seems that most of the problems we are having, in my opinion, is because of the President-- the person who is supposed to protect us and accept everyone despite of their differences.
So here's my question:
What do we do when our president doesn't meet those requirements? What do we do when we are afraid of our president?
