What Is Going On In The
World?
BY CELESTE SPAIN
Where do we stand?
We stand together.
All races, genders, sexualities, everyone.
We will not be divided.
It’s time for change.
Change must be accepted not dismissed.
The roots of our culture have poison that rises,
only the wise realise this and act together for the good of
the human race.
If racist statues fall that should have fallen an age ago, let
them fall.
All those who love justice will cherish change.
Negativity fills the news, headlines slapped across the papers.
But people who fight for justice are not terrorists,
they are those who fight for a better future.
Who admire each and every person around them.
Because whatever the colour of our skin, whatever
the feelings in our hearts, whatever lies are spread to
suppress change, we all matter in this world and we
should always fight for a better one.
We all deserve to live the best lives we can live.
And we should use every ounce of our beings to both
welcome change and fight for justice.
