Issues
I wanna hear a poem about change.
About why wanting that is so unrightfully strange.
I wanna hear a poem about plastic straws,
about why a clean earth is a picture to hard to draw.
I wanna hear a poem about sex trafficking
about why today's slavery isn't that damaging.
I wanna hear a poem about domestic violence
about why there's no issue until I have to call an ambulance.
I wanna hear a poem about overpopulation,
about poverty filling our struggling nations.
I wanna hear a poem about climate change,
about the world's priorities being rearranged.
I wanna hear a poem about the more important issues,
About why they exist but no one admits to.
