I really hate guns in my face
This is not a biased poem. I just refuse to become another victim because my aspirations speak louder than my destiny or what the government expects of me.
Whether I am another on the list and the bullet penetrate my skull, heart or
anything that cradled my dreams
I tell you it only hit my existence
No man-made bullet can destroy the poetry
That dances in the minds of the ones I confide in
No bullet can penetrate the impact I left my mother, sister, or brother
No bullet can erase the fact that I am a black man, African American, Negro with a dream
To see passed the shades put before my eyes
See passed the past that haunts and lurks in our present history
No bullet can erase the nine digits social security number given to me proving
I am human, I can dream, I can make realities from my dreams, I can mess up, I can vote, I can do all things through Christ name who strengthens me
No bullet possess the power to wipe away the ability to rise above adversity
"I tell you one thing I really hate guns in my face"
Says those who cannot say this today
