Gotta Live Poem by Rickardo BecklesBurrowes

Social injustice
In governments we’ve trusted
We employed them the start
Now we justify it in our hearts

What do you believe?
What peace have you achieved?
When you take, do you give?
Every body’s gotta live!

People hated and used
We’ve allowed this abuse
Aimless power, a childish game
Ruined and raped the world in shame

What do you believe?
What peace have you achieved?
When you take, do you give?
Every body’s gotta live!

We’ve become talented in survival
Though our backs are turned from this revival
Making life right from wrong
Hoping that our humanity has not gone
