This Utopian Reality

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
You probably didn’t feel
Much
 
Because
Those sounds were just
Words on a page
 
Or
Maybe a scene in a movie
But
Definitely not reality
 
Because
Reality is
Skipping through
A daisy field under a rainbow
 
Reality
Is the Middle Class of society
Even though it’s shrinking
 
The shouts of rage that
Came from that nine
Were just like the ones you
Heard in your favorite
Altered
Reality
 
Or like
Those songs
that seem to
glorify the power
Of a gun
 
You live in a world
Where that’s not your reality
So the songs you sing
Are about Delilah
And beer
 
All while men
Women and children
Are killed
But it’s ok cause you’ve got your Pabst
 
 
The racial profiling that we are
Manifested with
Has become more than just a
profile character for a video game
 
More than just another
scene in a movie
It has become more than
“Their problem”
More than a clear-cut issue
 
These dealings have a history
Rooted in hatred
In greed
In the desire for more
In man
