"H.A.R.D."

"H.A.R.D."

by Arcassin Burnham

Tired of being sick and tired of a world so uninspired,

By all means show me what it means to be someone that has a squeaky clean life without any repercussions,

Not have to fight through argumentative discussions  facing problems in a world of corruption,  

where villains with no faces hide in dysfunction, 

my words are not abnormal just simply conjunctions,

A twenty year old black kid from Florida with no job and no damn peaceful aura begging the one above all for some clarity and self-efficient futures that'll put a smile on his face for his kids,

But why would the one above all put us in a situation in a test of sheer survival of not giving into the wickedness blinding us in a country that'll steal Native

Indian lands, did they forget what they did?

So life is hard because it needs to be, 

life is hard because your friends might turn on you,

Life is hard because people have the wrong political views , 

life is hard because having a reminiscing depression of the past will stop you from being free,

But we never are.
