Society
Red, White, and Blue.
Colors that signify innocence, hardiness, and justice.
Colors that signify a sense of pride and freedom.
 But what does freedom actually mean.
Is it something where we can just dream about everyday or is it a reality.
Or better yet is it a social construct by society, which has no logic or propriety.
 We claim to live in a country, which prohibits the government from encouraging or promoting religion in any way.
But is it okay for Donald Trump to make a community or individuals feel dismay
 Communities already in shambles due to their appearance
Being thrown off planes cause they think we are aliens
Looking at us like weâre foreign objects from outer space
So why canât you just lets us have some space?
 But one thing people donât realize is that this is our identity
An identity so strong that causes some to just startle away
An identity the media has caused the public to MAKE assumptions about
 Assumptions so great that only drives hate
A hate so strong that causes communities to retaliate
Suffering which only leads to pain
And pain which only leads to no gain
 Politicians controlling media like its a game OF chess
Moving us like little pawns that have no fate
Residing in glory like they just got check mate
Thinking that all they can do is stir up hate
 Now how do we step back and create
Create a community, a Sangat, or a Panth that no one can re-create
A community so strong that others just want to appreciate
 It is easier said then actually done
But donât think it is sudden and canât be done
It all starts from the heart
And no one can tear it apart
 Most people in todays day and age are usually driven away from what they are passionate about
Society convincing them that they canât succeed if they do what they like
And most of us are just too busy stuck becoming something that we donât know if its right
Most activists donât dream to become one, but it is through experience and oppression which causes one to become one
An activist isnt someone who is restricted to a community or a religion
But better yet they have the ability to stand up for any cause or existence
Through art, singing, writing, and rap people all over the world try to ignite a fire
A fire so large that the whole world can see
A fire so hot that the whole world can feel
A fire so destructive that causes all the oppressors to fall
And a fire so thick that blocks the world from igniting hate within in all
 Take a second and fuel your inner activist
We all have it within us and itâs only a matter of time until we can extinguish
