Dear World

Dear World,
Thank you for language so we can converse,
It is one of the greatest gifts on this earth,
But people made language that shouldn't exist,
Patriarchy, Genocide and conflicts

Dear People,
I know you are trying to please the majority,
But what about the children? Prejudice? Poverty?
It's not all about you, can't you see?
My Mum and Dad want to know what has happened to me

Dear Mum and Dad,
I know in my heart that you're not mad at me,
you're mad that the world won't change,
And I can't change me.
