Get up...Break Down

Climb high upon the ladder

I know you will see it too

All these beautiful people here

Staring up at you

They wonder how it is you got that way

They wonder who you are

Then they realize this wondering

Doesn't ever get too far



Fight for all your rights

Then let the president take them all away

Shout all your angry words

The ones you use with hate

Why must we live so segregated

And hate the blacks and gays?



This country has turned to bullshit

I am absolutely sick of it

I hate turning on the T.V.

Just to get a mouthful of all this shit

The media doesn't know the truth

So instead they just spread lies

I'll tell you now I wouldn't be surprised

If tomorrow everyone wakes up and dies



This is a statement

This is a letter full of hate

I will not be subjected to your lies

I will not discriminate

Together we make one big family, yea

It is called the human race

But you all still slam your doors on eachother

And you all still yell in unison at eachother's face



I hate the haters

I hate the big shots

I hate the guys with all the cash

I hate political parties

I hate dumb traditions

I hate the price of gas for cars

I hate the media

I hate the political analyist

I hate the hate this world has come to

And most of all I am just so damn sick of all of this

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This started out with me thinking aobut writing about how everytime you get up on ur feet again you get shot right back down..and then i got to realize that getting shot down all the time is what this world has come to.  It just pissed me off- I hope all of you reading this aren't like those people that are mentioned- if you are...change- it'll make this world a better place.
