It does affect you!

Ignorance is inexcusable
Thinking is absolutely necessary
Don’t you know that things do affect you?
Overall it may not be directly
Everyone thinks it won’t matter
Suddenly their world is turned asunder
Everyone you know can be affected
Fighting for rights you already have
Forgetting your ancestors had to struggle as well
Every race and ethnicity needs to learn
Change cannot be accomplished separately
Things must be done together
You need to open your eyes
Or you will betray the world around you
While you hide under your security blanket.
History will repeat itself

To say history doesn’t matter
Does a disservice to all who fought and died
To create the world we live in
Without the past we wouldn’t be here
If we ignore the past
We have no right to be surprised
When bad things happen again
How many wars have happened?
How much genocide?
How many other bad things?
Because people said to ignore the warning signs
That was long ago
It can’t happen again
Well it can happen again!
And it will!
It is happening right now!
And when you look me in the eye
And see I speak the truth
You’ll realize how stupid you’ve been
And educate yourself and others
To keep the evil of the world at bay.
