Question

I just wrote this one day while I was thinking about the world.



What's Wrong
by: Krystle Nicole Gainey


When will it finally come to an end
Why do you a white person
Fear me, a black person
Why do you foreigners
Fear me, as an American
Why do we feel that we have to be the best
Why do we judge based on negative perception
What's scary about diversity
What's wrong with being gay
What't wrong with not being a model
What's wrong with being a model
What's wrong with our society
We claim to be together like a family
But when it's all said and done
We only care for ourselves
Why?

Answer 1

It is beautiful. I think you can really become a poet(that is if you are into poetry). And is that your real name?

Nevermind that... It is so true though. I am not an American and I do not fear them but I know a few that do fear Americans...

The part about
"What's wrong with our society,
We claim to be together like a family,
But when it's all said and done,
We only care about oruselves,
Why?"
is true about the world we live in.
This is what I think, "People put on a mask that hides their true face from revealling their true identity, every single day. Why? The answer is simple, people have hatred so deep in themselves that it overwhelmes them and slowly devour them from the inside. People critise, people kill each other and people forget where they are from, we are all God's creation and we must live the way God wants us to live, peacefully."

How old are you anyway? I think you must be much more older than me to write such a beautiful poem. Me? I am just 12-14. I am not revealling my true age. hehe

Answer 2

I like your poem. Its very insiteful. At first I thought that you were going to go on about white people in general and I was ready for slander because there is so much racism here on the net and out in the wide world as we know it. However, as I read on, I realized that the first comment was through your eyes as a person who wears your skin tone that differs from mine. I agree with you 100% on the words you use, the questions you ask and (from my understanding of your art) your hidden question of why we cant all accept one another. I feel that reguardless of race, religion or creed we are all equals until we give reason to believe otherwise (and this is indevidual not a group of people). You are open, honest and show your love of people (the same or different than yourself) and you should be commended on this. Embrace yourself, love yourself and find the true meaning of what it is to be human and you will never fail in life. Ignorance is biggest reason for racisism in our sociaty today and people like you help to fight against it. Good luck in all you do, you have a pure heart.

Answer 3

Wow what great poem! I too ask alot of WHYS but i seldom get a answer that i like. I think things happen for no reasons some times, they happen by chance and because of 2 people's thought into action. So Why is a quetion that sometimes has to answer

Answer 4

You really should get out more.
You appear to have a quite an angry and negative view of your little world. It sounds as though your perceptions are molded by various media with there own dark agenda.
It's easy to find a place where all classes are accepted, flee the ghetto and free your mind!

Answer 5

I like the poem. I don't know the answer to all the whats and whys. We all have prejudices, and a lot of them stem from our childhood. The best we can do is to try to change. We've been on this planet for a lot of years. We don't seem to have done a lot of changing.

Answer 6

I REALLY love your poem or whatever it is... You need to add 'why do you white people, fear those who are from middle east'.
I actually ask myself those kind of questions to see the world today. :) And I try to analyze that by thinking that maybe, only maybe that those things happen and will always happen as long as all humans exist in this world, because simply of lack of knowledge and self-righteousness.

Answer 7

well at least everyon gets them wrong
but its not for just any person
because i am more special than a song
the words are always fun
and my days too are long
at least my permission isnt needed
but only i reeded
so i am not on to sound conceted
but the words arte just feeded
if thats all you ever knew was worth,
than you will alway stay in your town

Answer 8

Beautiful. Where I live, local poets have their work posted on advertising signs in the buses and I love to read that, also. I wish I could see yours there, too. Perhaps more people would be inspired to think because of it...?

Answer 9

I think your work is excellent and I would very much like to see it published.

You could have a great future as a writer.

Keep up the writing skills and let no-one discourage you.

Answer 10

Basically you just wrote what so many of us are feeling. It's too bad the media doesn't show that.
