It is silly what one can only see

From the outside to us perceived to be

True. The veil of the American Dream

Keeping us from uniting as one team,

Holding us from what we have yet received.

From what is taught is not to be believed.

The freedom we want is not what we get

In the news we see the "Me Too" and yet

This movement has been going on for years.

No justice given but plenty of fears

Terrorizing the victims of this act.

The hush given because it's a fact,

To get what you want, you have to do what you must.

To get the job from the guy you mistrust,

To walking home from the bar by yourself,

To your lover causing to hate yourself,

To the person who was suppose to help.

The chain that tightens when you dare to yelp

That was placed there by your own society.

Weighing down as a blanket of anxiety

Following you, never leaving you alone,

Making you feel unsafe in your own home.

Scared to venture out where you'll see their face,

Knowing when he comes, you'll lose the race.

He wins satisfaction, you lose dignity.

This is the world for most of us today,

Hiding from the world and going astray.

Some live in ignorant bliss while many can't.

One in five are subjected to this horror,

So why don't we disrupt this god awful order?
