The most know radio news story was a hoax
Nothing’s faker then true TV
There’s so much info on the web for different people to believe
So when was the truth ever really the norm
Times are changing
And I don’t think they are changing for the good
How can Donald make this country great
With just hate and calling everything he doesn’t like fake
How can he claim to take us to a better future
When he just focuses on wiping out the past
He made so many promises but the only one he’s kept is making it seem like Obama was just a dream
So we really believe racism isn’t a thing
Because I’m Coming from a place that’s lower then low
Where the cry’s are to south to be heard
How can a Mexican American be successful when half of him is already assumed to be a criminal
I go up north and every person talks to me like i don’t know English
And at home
It doesn’t feel safe either
because I’m only half of what I should be
I go to work and old men make fun of me cause they say Spanish is a language I should already know how to speak
So who am I
What am I
How can the world ever love me if it doesn’t even know me
How can I look forward into the future when my own president talks about war like it’s a game of risk on Twitter
And he’s only risking kids like me
But I know there’s a future ahead where life and hate ain’t in the sentence when it comes up in someone’s head
Where everyone just looks at people for lives and not just faces that are different
But then again it started as a dream and is still there
So what can we do
because one man can’t change the world
And if we leave it all to another man
we go back to the majority ganging up on the minority through a person
who’s claiming he’s gonna make to country great again

Omar Rodriguez has been writing longer than he wants to remember. It has really only been the one thing that has stayed constant in his life. Without it, he has no idea how he would be able to express myself. With writing, he can not just control but also learn to accept whatever is thrown at him.
