The ingredients to baking a cake are quite simple, you see, all you need is knowledge about the american dream.


First you would need flour, like all Americans should look like.

Next we would need egg whites, separated to keep them safe 

Then we would need sugar, to cover all the nasty bits up-

As well as milk to make sure it  stays white and bright.


This cake, not made for me but for you all. 

This cake was made from the patterns of the U.S.A

This cake wasn’t made for me or you.

This cake was made to stay a certain way. 

This cake should not change.


What?

You want it made differently? 


First you would add all human rights and make them the first priority of emergency service teams

Next we would add all lives matter and all lifestyles matter

Then we would have to insist on making pay equal for man and woman.

As well as equality no matter race, gender, identification or status.

As well as adding in a few special ingredients, unity, independence, justice for all and liberty. 


Is that what you want?

So be it.


Here is your cake, now wake up.

This is about the systematic rascim. How america never changes besides in small parts of a city. But also how it's not just how african americans and people of different color are being treated but how we all are being fooled to live and stay this way.
