Age Seventeen
Only 17 years old
How can I make a change in the world
I can’t just sit here and wait
I want to change this world’s fate
End all the discriminating hate
Yet look at my age
They just turn the page
Leave me here in a rage
As they kill the world one human at a time
I will stand with a mic and spit out a rhyme
Try to be heard
Help to spread the word
But will they listen
Or will they think I’m just p*****’
Am I just a waste
Or can I start a new pace
Will you take a stand
Or will I be the only one to make this demand
Now move your feet don’t allow this time to repeat
And in the end this mission will be complete
