Blog Project Poem
Unequal
Siobhan
McMahon
Millions
of homeless people live on the streets
the
future of America
is bleak
Why
does your race determine your success in life
why
should you get paid more just because you’re white
The
unemployment gap is as big as the grand canyon
white
privilege in America
runs rampant
Life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness to everyone is what the constitution
promised
they
didn’t mention minorities are not included in this
Children
grow up in a country that is unequal
the
government doesn’t see that minorities are people
But
this country does not have to be divided
we
could all cohabitate peacefully if we tried this:
Be
the change you want to see
treat
all races equally
Speak
out against racism
don’t
let America be
a place of discrimination
Educate
the youth to grow up being tolerant
don’t
let people carry out their unjust ignorance
Hope,
change and equality will make the country bright
you
can be the problem or the solution- its up to you to decide.

I really like your piece. You should consider performing this as spoken word.
