This is No RapThis is No Rap
By: Camila Lee

This is no rap
Or song or poem 
For you who is mad
This is just for us
All those who are lost in this land
Of opportunities and class
Elegancy that they lie
About and we can’t find the map
To get where love is abundant
Or where peace lives in peace
Or just where unity exists in us

I sit here,
Everyone pretending
And hiding their hearts
Their most inner secrets
Lying to the god of witness
Who knows all
But is not his business

Heling is your own path
None of us are to be mad
About the problems that you have
For all we have is the trust
To be you and to be me
In this mix of energies
As the drink gets to me
And takes away all my memories

How funny it is
To be in this world
To be in this room
To be with each other
And still talk about hate
Or relate it to all the blame
It is for the government to take
But we put it on you and me

I look at the mirror
The dirty of the glass
And even from my own mind
How they got us here
To believe that there is no hope
In fighting for what’s right
Or to fight even at all

As I grow past
All this problem with the mass
I see you in the middle
Standing with your soul in your hand
And I let you see me as much
As you let me see you while I’m blind
