Black and white, white & black
I guess the rest don't exist,
or do we group them with the closer kin?
By the colour of their skin?

Speechless I am, of what is going on.
But hopeful it is the change,
we have been seeking so long.
And not another rerun for the next generation.

A part of me can't help but think,
the timing so perfect, just on the brink,
they knew what would happen,televised protest,
and the one on the crown would look more like a clown,
while they appear in African gear,
the Ghanaian kente.

So much trouble in the world,
Brexit without an exit,
basic income for the Spanish kingdom,
I guess a question sign ? is the currency?
China clamps down where Britain laid its crown,
and Ms liberty only about her liberty,
there and here and almost everywhere,
rumors of war like smoke in the air.

Wasn't gonna publish this, but left it for a day and came back an tweaked a bit and deleted an entire verse . Keep on creating y'all, even if it just a little. Many a times I have had the urge to take a break from Hive, but in a sense this is my version of taking a break, just doing and creating as I please.

The world seems a little crazy right now and sometimes I wonder where it all may lead. To change, or more division, just pushed deeper underground? I don't know the answer. What I know however, is that all peoples of the world deserve parity, equality, and support. The premise of equality is that each are equal, and therefore none stand above others. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Nice verses. :)

You are right, not sure where it is heading at all but it seems that more invisible borders are being made to divide. I wish we as earth citizens could travel freely around this globe that was created for us. Until then, there will always be some turmoil. But I guess the equality has to start with each country first then we can get to the borders.

Thanks for stopping by.😉

Well said and I agree. It seems human beings are largely incapable of all moving in the same direction at the same time. We're fractured and divided.

The thing is that mankind are all citizens of the same planet, all reside in the same place, and are generally all the same...Arms, legs red blood etc. I fear that greed, pride, ego and selfishness get in the way of a generally harmonious existence.

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.

It is the greed and ego indeed. Power is a hell of a thing and money brings out the true nature. And te ones who control the money supply basically set the rules. They don't like crypto as that power is being threatened. I won't be surprised when crytpo gets fully banned once the world leads issue their own. It is gonna be the next big protest but most won't even understand what the fight is about.

Yes, I tend to agree with you. Control is what people look for, the higher up the food chain those people are the more control they seek, and the more lives they control. I'm way down low, so I try to control my attitude and habits as best I can and stay under the radar.

I am hoping to see some gain from crypto before it too gets taken over. The question is, when does one sell out. Thanks for replying.
