The Man
The Man
Striking aces for white faces
All around, I begin to see
Faces that don’t look like me
They promote diversity, yet I face
the adversity of staring at faces that don’t look like me
Wallowing in the shadows of my skin
I burry inside a fire that begins to rise at each lie
This is America the land of the free
But who will speak up for me
Gasping a last bit of air for
The man has shot me down
Who will speak for me !
This poem is about:
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
