Poetry Prescription: A Multicultural Generation

Us young people ain't no fools
you can't pass down your racist views
onto a multicultural generation
we're connecting the dots on your corporate puzzle of oppression


Setting up shops in other countries
to extract cheap labor
while people here lose jobs & shelter
rents getting higher
it's called gentrification
and it's not the solution to the low wages that kept us poor in the first place!


That's what Che Guevara realized & why he rejected a money-hungry system
that only make the rich richer and the poor poorer
How can you condemn a country that offers free education & health care,
meaning regardless of your financial situation?


Mainstream media distorted to portray rebels negatively
just like they cast young people of color as mostly gangsters, drug dealers, and/or lazy
I'm TIRED of all the lies, corruption, and brainwashing
infatuations to conquer the moon ain't no different
than economic schemes to control hoods & countries all over the globe!
but our dedication only grows
when we get arrested for demanding less jails and better schools
when parents are forever working
yet getting paid barely enough to cover rent and food


But our voices will not be silenced!
Our cultures will resist being commercialized!
You cannot fool a multicultural generation!
