what about me

edited April 2006 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
I've been educated
In oppression
I've suffered
Indiffernce of double standards

Why should I speak out
To make others believe i care
when all I see is insecutity

But I still believe
that life is sacrad
I believe in,
the freedom if choice

We've been educated
to see black or white
but i ask
where the gray

Why should I take a stand
for I see poth points
Humanity is the only thing missing

Hearing is different,
then listening,
with conflicting values
extreme beleifs become the norm
thats why I stay silent
queitly taking mental notes

    :) Edit for spelling, grammatical errors and such and it'll be good. The meaning behind the words comes across just fine and I like it, but tidy it up a bit and it'll be much better. :)
