I can't help but see emotions get in the way of reality or at least a logical balanced perception of reality.
Ukraine/Russian war we knew was gonna start. Just the matter of when it blew up. It started just after the "ending" of the Cold War. Putin made it clear to NATO that he doesn't want Ukraine to be part of NATO. Of course, NATO put it's nose where it doesn't belong by asking Ukraine if they want to join NATO and placed troops at the Russia-Ukraine border just like Russia did. And it doesn't help ease the situation when Western countries show weak leadership and lack of knowledge by instigating flames of war while funding Russia from oil shipments and sending military aid to Ukraine (basically adding more fuel to the fire) along with U.S political leaders doing some shady deals (some considered treasonous) with Ukraine.
Basically, if America along with NATO just stayed away from Ukraine, more than likely, this situation wouldn't have happened.
For the bills being passed in the U.S states on transgender issues. First, it's the states' rights to invoke laws that don't violate federal laws.
Next, the Florida bill isn't anti-gay/LGBT. It's a bill that simply doesn't want public schools (from pre-K through 3rd grade) to engage in LGBT ideology that would more than likely be an indoctrination method instead of fact-based education. It's not getting rid of the community or banishing it as a whole. The bill is getting rid of the biased nonfactual information that honestly shouldn't be taught at such a young age.
Also, the Texas bill is actually for the interest of children. Most who do the sex change is after they hit puberty, which in result has them already being a stature difference in size, muscle mass and overall competitiveness due to how the brain functions differently between males and females. It's hard to change your height, muscle mass and overall way of thinking unless it is done in great measures which then becomes a biological/health danger to the individual because it's gonna change how they grow or develop naturally as it wasn't meant to be such.
Finally, there is really no change in suicide risk whether a therapy/operation is done or not, let alone mental health conditions coming-up.
Here are two sources in relation to the Texas bill situation:

Saying police target people for the color of their skin is a vague broad statement. Although it does happen, it is at an extremely low-ratio when comparing those who do to the whole police force, and those who have been caught and reported for such have been put to justice. Also, there has to be intent put forth in such because over three-quarters of these "race deaths" actually deals with someone who is considered dangerous AND have/has done a dangerous act(s) whether against other civilians or law enforcement.
Police causing disturbances in "peaceful protests" is an outlandish idea let alone one-sided. Are there moments where law enforcement may go too far? Yeah. But are there moments where a "peaceful" protest turns violent because of protesters? Definitely. It happens to be that the latter happens more often than not.
Interestingly enough to counter your argument that black people live in fear of police, most high-density black communities actually want there to be more police presence because they feel unsafe since police stations/officers are not as prevalent.
To say that it must be stop, we all know. We want it to stop, but nothing is perfect. No matter what reforms or laws get pushed through it's not gonna be perfect.
In all, the vast majority of people do see other people as just people- same as their-self. It's a shame that there are bad people, but it's nature and it is hard to change.
Usually I'm into your structure and rhyme scheme, but this... I'm just not getting the Matt Decker vibe unlike in such writings of Jungle In The Gym or I Am ELIAN.
This seems pretty cut and dry whereas the ones I believe are your best are the elaborate, word/phrase-shifting, abstract concepts.
Wow, the housing market must have taken a hefty hit being the property cost only $24.45 (unless this takes place back about four centuries ago, which means that the price of wheat was sky-high for it's time).
This seems too loose and has many holes. There wasn't a tie-in for the change of pace as to how the mother got the job or why the father was gone. There's a beginning, middle and end, but how does it fit? How did all of it become what it did?
Good grammar makes a good story. Bad grammar makes a bad story and this is bad grammar. Not saying it has to be perfect, but some things just bother readers especially when it comes to punctuation, proper nouns, spelling, all that good stuff.
I like the idea, but I believe it was poorly executed.
Uhhh.....
What did I just read?
I'm so lost with words.
But I will say, it definitely is different and there does seem to be a concentrated idea.
So you got that goin' at least.
Dang.
I like the concept of the story and I like how it moves fast as it pertains to the idea of the title being a "chase", but I feel it went too fast.
There is a beginning, middle and end, of course, yet I believe there is some missing material that would enhance the story such as a strong build-up describing actions that take place in the middle and further questioning/back-of-the-mind fear for the character that can settle at the end. The beginning was pretty darn neat and I like that it was straight to the point/action.
Agree with the idea that we should be protecting the environment, but there are some obvious aspects in this writing/song that make it 'misleading' (if that's an appropriate term to use).
First, looking at the wrong problem. California wildfires are bad and detrimental to those who live there, but they are natural and at the rate it is going it is actually helping nature. Geography and climate-temperament plays a role because it is just a drier place that is able to grow vegetation that will later on most likely burn because of the lack of water/dry season. Most of California forests are overgrown and no life is able to live because of high canopies which block out sunlight to the floor, diseased and dying plants leaving behind dry/dead material that doesn't decompose because of the shedding of water that mostly only hits the canopies and lack of diversity in the eco-system. With the wildfires they are having now, it actually will help the forest and the people living there in the long run because with new growth there is less chance of wildfires and there will be larger attainment of water because the plants growing hold it in.
The real problem to be looking at is illegal cutting and poor farming practices. This problem is relevant in the Amazon. Large amount of forests are being cleared, both legally and illegally for farming which goes nowhere because of irrigation systems that don't work out for them and then they keep clearing the forest out contaminating bodies of water and the soil that results in fires and floods that are extreme and historic usually every couple of years which isn't natural for the area to witness.
Second, twisted-politics. They talk about Trump "turns a blind eye..."Global warming's an expensive little hoax"". For something that tries to make Trump look bad, it actually goes in his favor because when he pulled the US out of the PCA (Paris Climate Agreement) the US did better for reducing emissions than all the other nations in the PCA and the US didn't spend millions upon millions of dollars 'revamping' the economy to be 'eco-friendly' when it turned out that the PCA actually did nothing because no country met their quota for carbon emission rates while the US, which backed out of the deal, went above and beyond reducing rates.
Third, extinction of animals and plants. For there to be evolution, there must be extinction. As for how the world sees extinction today, it seems like a huge deal, but looking back at history, it really isn't that bad. There have been about 6 mass extinctions (including now) throughout the history of earth resulting in about 99.9% percent of all living organisms and there are animals and plants that are adapting right now like fish in the Hudson river which can tolerate chemical-induced waters and elephants now losing tusks as wheat can grow in the cold and produce more grain.
Creatures and plants will adapt to their condition and it is the result of Darwinism and nature.
Although humans and environmental actions do play a role in the change of the climate, nature ultimately has the upper-hand. Nature can and will find a balance. Whether it is at our expense or not, it will find a way.
There are stronger forces out there than humans.
First, I do support BLM as a proposition along with the idea of All Lives matter. Just wanted to make that clear.
They actually are included in all. They have the freedom of their own will to make choices just like everyone else, but yet there are black-only schools which is wrong, because we are supposed to be inclusive as a culture and not segregated. There is white supremacy, but there is also black supremacy with the New Black Panther Party, an organization that targets whites and Jews, so basically they aren't giving others Justice and Liberty for all then either. All sides I see some wrongs, especially in history, but I don't think people in general really care whether you're black, white, brown, yellow, light-skinned or dark-skinned, whatever it may be. As long as you are a respectful and responsible person, nothing bad will happen.
I'm not denying what you said, I'm just using information too add onto the picture.
