Sexism is terrible.
It is horrendous.
It is disastrous.
It’s the treatment of one sex,
Usually women,
In a negative way
For what’s between their legs.
It is male privilege
That perpetuates
This messed up system.

Racism
Racism; it is a system
Where a person is treated different
For the color of their skin pigments.
It is a system
That has oppressed millions
For many generations.
The only way to end it
Is to fight against it.
In order to do that, we must acknowledge
The existence
Of white privilege.

Privilege
Privilege; it’s a thing that exists.
You can have privilege for being white, male, or cis.
There’s also privilege for being pretty, tall, or thin.
There is even privilege for being fucking rich.
Privilege is everywhere, and it is fucking shit.
It is a system where you can get judged for the color of your skin and pigments.
It is a system where men can’t show their emotions.
It is a system where rich men can pollute the environment.
It is a system where businesses can lobby the government.
It is a system where you can be demonized for being an immigrant, poor, or homeless.
It is a system that causes great division.
But do not despair; not all is hopeless!
There is a way; a way we can fix this.
We must make people aware; aware of their privilege.
We must make people realize that the problem is systemic,
And that privilege is not just simply something that one is born in.
Privilege is something that society has decided.
Privilege can give people an unfair advantage,
And can also promote hypocrisy and double standards.
Those with privilege can get praised for something,
And if marginalized groups do it,
Those with privilege have a fit.
It’s bullshit.
This shit needs to end.
It’s time we give a voice to those who are voiceless.

Climate Change
My name is James, and this poem’s about change.
Climate change is real. I know you don’t want to hear
That humans are to blame for a climate that’s insane,
But it is the truth. We were the ones to pollute
The planet with greenhouse gases
And lakes and rivers with deadly toxins
Such as nuclear radiation,
Medical, drug, and coal waste,
And all sorts of other things that can hurt the environment!
It was on us. This is our mess.
In order to stop this, we must fight this.
We must work together to make the world better.
In order to do that, now is the time to act.
If we wait, it will be too late.
There may not be a world for future generations to inhabit.
This is our one shot to get it all right.
This our world, and this is our fight!

A Month Of COVID-19
It has been a little over a month since COVID-19 lockdowns took into effect. It’s honestly been quite boring, and depressing, not being able to go anywhere. It makes me appreciate people more, even people whom i don’t even know. I miss the crowds on subways and buses. I miss sitting down and eating at a restaurant. I miss going to the movies. I miss it all.

Dearkitty’s “Real Neat Blog” Award
I would like to take the time to thank WordPress user Dearkitty1 https://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/ for nominating me for her “Real Neat Blog” Award. It really means a lot to me. When I created this blog a few months ago, I did not expect it to get to where it is today. I know that number-wise, my blog is small. However, 25 followers is a lot to me. I thank each and every one of my followers, and whoever else reads and likes my posts and blog. Your support means a lot to me. I’ve always loved writing ever since I was young. Now, after creating my blog, I have a chance to share with the world my thoughts and ideas. Thanks again for all of the support!
I will now answer the 7 questions for Dearkitty1’s “Real Neat Blog” Award. Here they are in case any of you who are reading want to know what the questions are.
1. Where do most visits to your blog come from? My poetry. My poems seem to do the best on my blog.
2. What is your favourite sport? I don’t really have one, since I don’t really watch sports or play sports. However, if I had to pick one physical activity, I guess I would go with biking.
3. What has been a special moment for you so far in 2020? Honestly, getting nominated for this award was very special to me in 2020, so far.
4. What is your favourite quote? “We build too many walls and not enough bridges.” – Isaac Newton
5. What was your favourite class when still at school? Hard to say what my “favorite” was. My top 3, however, and this is in no particular order, were biology, English, and history.
6. Anything you had wished to have learned earlier? Spanish. I was I had learned Spanish when I was growing up. If I had, I’d probably be more fluent in it than I am right now.
7. What musical instrument have you tried to play? Piano when I was younger. Currently, I’m learning to play the saxophone. I also played the drums once in music class back in high school. I also know how to drum on tabletops and objects. I can sustain a catchy and rhythmic beat while playing.
Now for the nomination part.
Honestly, I have not really given much thought about who my favorite bloggers are on here. To be quite honest, I don’t really come on here that often, except when I write. I haven’t really read many blogs and blog posts on here. I want to change that, however. I hope to read more blogs and blog posts on WordPress as time goes on, and at some point in the future, when I feel ready to, I’ll nominate some of my favorite bloggers for the “Real Neat Blog” Award. I hope to nominate at least 10 people.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this post, and if you want, feel free to check out Dearkitty1’s blog for more content, and feel free to check out my blog, too! Take care, everyone!
