The country is crumbling to a land unknown
We have slowly grown into a hole.
Although our leaders wear no crown
It is them, who have an iron role.
Should we as citizens sit back and lie flat?
This is a poem about police shootings.
What’s are they doing?
NOTHING!!!
That might not answer your question,
But I know something.
I thought about it all the time
Even in times of trouble
It would always cross my mind
But to believe it always seemed to be a struggle
I couldnt see what everybody else saw
Do we choose to be blindwhy can we not see children are in trouble There's people in need Do we choose to not talk why can we not speak people begging to be heard but too threatened to escape, too weak Do we choose to be deafWhy can we not hearth
The opportunity they give me are like the fast food handouts they pass out on the street. Profile me and see what I can be. Black and powerful is what I see. I'm more than a thing I'm a human being a heart and soul is what you can't see.
I want to write
Write about coffee or the beach
The dog or the cat
And the song and the boy.
I want to learn
Learn about the streets I walk
The night or the day
And the past and the future.
Life without love is lifeless. Love without life is bitter. Everyone knows I'm a sinner, and they keep posting it on twitter.
Everyone makes mistakes,
That is inevitable.
Everyone has flaws,
I know this to be true.
When you watch the bullies walk through the hall
and make fun of all the people they see.
Do you realise what you do
to their mind when they go home?
They sit and think of all these things
This world.
Yes. This one
The one you're a part of
Is dying
The United States falls
The Middle East quarrels
The world is gripped by panic, and fear
Pestilence
War
Poverty
We hide behind a mask of lies
To keep the truth from waving "hello" and "goodbye"
But have you ever cried through blood shot eyes?
Hit after hit, on that emotional high
Have your lungs ever hurt so bad,
Don’t pass by that guy on the street
He has a name you see
He may not be your typical friend
But speak to him you just might see
He is the one who has been forgotten
He just lost his job last week
In a world of black and white,
be the shades of grey.
They bring value to each day.
In a world of broken dreams,
be the shining star.
You can reminds each boy and girl,
what is wrong,
what is right?
who am i,
who are you?
how do i know what i see is real,
and how do i know that you are you?
and if i could snap my fingers
and clap my hands
and nod my head
and stomp my feet
or say a word
and make anything happen
I'd make a change
When there is nothing left of us, the people, what will we have? Most often times we thrive to own materialistic items, things of which do not and will not matter in 10 years from now.
I used to be here,
Didn't we all.
History shows,
Powerful nations,
Always fall.
But we never worry,
Never show fear.
Just shake our fists,
And drink a beer.
No! Don't cry,
We always look down instead of looking up.
We always say no when we can say yes.
We always kiss when we can hug.
We always walk when we can run.
We always stand there when we can do something about this.
Flopping ears and sagging jaws
I bolt across a field after the rabbit
Digging holes with my big paws
Laying on the grass in the warm sun
I sleep and dream and snore
This life is full of naps and fun
Why are animals overlooked?
People should pick up a book.
We tend to be like zombies,
With no hobbies
