The Imagined reality
Born 2006, F, from Perth, AustraliaWhat has the world come too
let me give you a clue
unrealistic photoshopped images
and draining toxic marriages
What has the world come too
if only you knew
of the prescriptions we take
just to be skinny for ***** sake
What has the world come too
its something we should look into
people in Gaza are being bombarded
but their problems are being disregarded
for the phones that stay glued to our hands
the TV's, makeup tips and brands
What has the world come too
a problem too late to undo
if black lives still mattered
wouldn't everything be so much better
What has the world come too
ever since we withdrew
Yemen is still starving
our people are undeserving
What has the world come too
it's about time we breakthrough
Syrian children still have PTSD
yet the world continues to be undisturbed
What has the world come too
the future is not something we lookup
there are still selling people in slavery in Libya
regarded as a trivial
What has the world come too
this report is long overdue
Kashmiris are still on lockdown
their problems we should break down
What has the world come too
its something we should fall through
Afghans are still being persecuted
and family members executed
What has the world come too
its something we should go through
Malians are still being Malnourished
but their starvings we have encouraged
What has the world come too
attention we should bring too
Venezuelans are still fleeing
their deaths we are guaranteeing
What has the world come too
do something, whoever it is Im talking too
Lebanese are still being robbed of their future
a world of peace... wouldn't that be just so much...cooler
What has the world come too
let me tell you about oppression avenue
Iraqis are still in a state of fear
it has been going on for more than a year
What has the world come too
there is so much to do
Ethiopians are still dying from hunger
don't think they can survive any longer
What has the world come too
I think you should grab a tissue
central American children are still in cages
hasn't it been ages since we've turned the pages
What has the world come too
wanting to save the world but I don't know how to
Native Americans are still dehumanized
what has become of our humankind
What has the world come too
it's not something we can run into
our world leaders are still greedy
and the poor are still needy
wouldn't you like to know...sweetie?
What have I come too
Everything I said is true
but still, I sit and do nothing
when I could be doing something
Isn't it just...disgusting?

06/15/2021Heart-wrenchingly sad but true
The world we live in was not meant to be this way but it is what it is
The least we can do is keep on striving for an optimistic change
Beautifully written
Great job, Mariama
