The forgotten killer
Hopelessness When your body and mind are disconnected When your falling in a sea of darkness and accept it When the silence is loud you can hear your heartbeat It's the feeling of a deep pit In your stomach All the contents of your stomach being Consumed by it Replaced by the feeling of sickness Leaving a...

Two Drunkards
They sat holding bottles In their hands And armpits Pouring mouthful Of liquor to fill Their hollow stomachs. They gazed at each other As cat and mouse And spoke a lot of Inglish with slain syntax To devirginate Their motherland. The two drunkards! Spoke of a nation's illusions And the wilted state of A nation's elites Raping the cultural norm Who raped the temple? They said something About...

The sacrifice of drowning so others could be saved
Empty, that's all she felt She hated the numbness that would blindly attack She did so much for others But she couldn't help herself She carried the weight of being black Where racism would slowly break her back She couldn't even go to a hospital they'd probably throw her out Calling her 'dramatic' Saying she should go somewhere else This...

DISCRIMINATION
His name is Momoh Kamara a brilliant mind, fresh from school confident, driven his future packed in a folder and a dream. But they didn’t see that. They saw Themne. They saw North. And whispered spy, problem, glitch. “Wait for our call,” they said. So Momoh waited days grow into to months hope rusted in the silence. Four years, four heavy years he chased a future that...

India and Pakistan: Divided by History, Bound by Blood
Brothers once, beneath the same monsoon sky, Before foreign flags touched your soil, You drank from the same rivers, Laughed beneath the same banyan trees, Shared gods, grain, and ground. But when the map was sliced by hands not yours, When borders were inked in sorrow and salt, A mother wept—her children pulled apart, Not by will, but by wounds too deep to...

The Letter They Never Answered
To those who should have heard my plea— I write not bitter, but silently. In shadows where the messages fade, I found myself in silence laid. It started with a hopeful thread, A truth that whispered, softly said, To stir the waters, call a friend— But stillness echoed to no end. No ripples came, no words replied, Just empty space where trust had died. “You...

Who will hold her exhaustion when it gets too heavy
Exhaustion was a burden she would always have to carry A lingering shadow that gave her no peace Even haunting her in her sleep Her most notable feature Was her eye bags so heavy They begged to be heard Screamed to be released Hoping someone will save her from the abyss Of Exhaustion Tired from a life of always running Away...

The radicalism of a black main character
She always wondered how it would be If she, a black girl starred in a romantic comedy Where she wouldn't just be used as comic relief And she would be desired by the male lead She dreamed of being comforted And not play a strong black girl where she wouldn't be punished for being seen as 'weak' She could be...

Extraordinary Forecast
When you row with vibes, You tend to lose more value... Outside some notable tribes, That always pressure to argue. When you seek attention off reason, You could definitely lose affection... Without reckoning title or season, That holds no clear motive to suspension. When you appear to attract, Probability stakes no idea to stand... You would defend to subtract, While you fail to flow as...

Black people vs the world
No your burdens are not for us to carry We know your game You fake a smile Bat your little eyelashes Pretend you care Then reveal your true motive You want us to fight your battles for you But when we need help On your end all we hear is silence While you sit back and watch...

**Cover-Ups** The Cardinals will sing, but let’s confront the truth behind it all. We deceive ourselves, but a higher power knows the reality of these situations: makeup and the cover-ups. The Cardinals' song may be beautiful, yet the raven never returned, while the dove came back, never forgetting what it had seen. It whistles a tune...

Her journey to self love
She sat in front of her vanity mirror Her reflection felt unfamiliar The girl in it didn't look how she pictured She felt like a visitor In a body that should be familiar Yet somehow she felt like a prisoner Not knowing how to feel about the person in the mirror who reflected her She wasn't...

The prison he calls home
His mind was an abyss Of emotions And endless questions Of the world around him He wasn't much of a speaker But he was definitely a thinker His mind was a safe place Where he could speak freely Without being harmed He hated the outside world He was scared if he stepped outside He was afraid the racists might strike So instead he...

She died in a body she hated
She died in a body she hated Her last memory was watching herself get assassinated How she died isolated Surrounded by a see of white faces Who stood there being witnesses To something that would be talked about across the ages Her blood had painted the pavement The cop stood there admiring his painting She died in a body...
