Oh, the Beauty of Experience

Saddened my heart is

You have left understanding

You have bound learning from your experience

Desperate I am for you to see

You turn down my asking price

I want you to live

Yet you are so content to die

Taking your night cap of Ignorance

Does it warm your soul?

Falling asleep on the filth of this world

Keeping warm under the blankets of injustice

Dreaming of tomorrow

Knowing that it is yours to live

Waking up to the dawn of enrichment

To only close it to the darkness of your reality

Devastated I am

You greet the world with a smile

Hiding your hatred deep within

Walking by hopelessness with his outstretched hands

While mercy burns a whole in your pocket

Arriving at your gated institution

Sitting in the front row

Raising your hands to change

While love is suffocating from racism

The speech of acceptance is over

Deciding to live differently

Rising from who you used to be

Walking passed the man who sees beauty in a rainbow

Ignoring, escaping explanation

Straight to your home

Sitting in comfort

Choosing to do the following again next week

And seeing it as growing in the experience of beauty
