I'Ve Been Raped

I've been raped I went from FBI agent to a drug dealer All those years in  college and still no job because Iam black My new gang colors is the American flag with the stain red blood. The blood that I shed to work so hard to live a comfortable life. I've been rape from a job I've been raped out of my education I've been raped out of a place to live I've been raped out of my religion Then had the nerve to come in my face and ask who side Iam on Christian or Muslim I've been raped out of the color of my skin I've been raped out  of my wages I've been raped out of graduation I've been raped out  of spending time with family I've been raped out of spending time with friends I've been raped out of health care I've been raped out of voting I've been raped I've been raped I've been raped I've been raped out of life So who left paying the cost! Me! By: Shaniki Smith Date: February 16, 2016
