There are those
Who deny
That racism
Still exists
Or that
Homophobia
Is even really
That big
Of a deal
Or that
The bullying
Problem
Is really as bad
As it is
Made out to be
But let me
Tell you
People
Those problems
Are far worse
Even today
Than they seem
For everyday
Those same things
Take the dignity
Of far too many
And those
Are the ones
Who are
So called lucky
Because far too many
Don't live
Through
This bullshit
And that is why
Instead of
Questioning
If it is truly real
Or as bad
As others say
The questions
We should be asking
Are why do these
Things exist
In the first place
And how
Can we make
Them go away
