Poem
Each just a bit afraid and broken I’m tired of being Americas token I pick a line any line, any side I realize, I have not the prize Don’t throw me away? I close my eyes I’ve died I opened my eyes tears flow I tried, I tried, sigh Do you believe in me today? In retrospect…Just a savage I am not broken A broken person You and yours also are not broken people OH! NO Collapsed Drowning in the dung; Did you hear what I said Don’t throw me away? High-minded you hide behind it Elderly poor and abused Non Caucasian pure American? Prejudice well liked Incarcerated enticed Prejudice is righteous Hold on are you believing; I am not broken A broken person You and yours also are not broken people OH! NO I am receiving everything I should And it’s not good; I pout and brood; Don’t throw me away? Rain down on me your objectivity; Sanction and tax my creativity; Loose me, confine me; Hold on are you receiving; I am perceiving everything I should I am not broken A broken person You and yours also are not broken people OH! NO I pick a line any line, any side I realize, I have not the prize Don’t throw me away? Elderly poor and abused Non Caucasian pure American? Prejudice well liked Incarcerated enticed Prejudice is righteous Only for the hypocrite The only love you have is the LOVE OF HATE And HATE is in your spirit, soul, heart and mind Did I already say, I am not broken A broken person You and yours also are not broken people OH! NO You keep in mind… You pick a line any line, any side You realize, I have not the prize Perceiving everything I should Be ready for forgiving you For what you’ve put me through Prejudice well liked Incarcerated enticed Prejudice is righteous Only for the hypocrite You hate elderly You hate young the youth, you hate everything but your truth You hate others not like you, whom don’t share your views Each just a bit afraid and broken I am perfect in every way, I’m chosen Each just a bit afraid and broken Each just a bit afraid and broken Each just a bit afraid and broken I’m chosen I am perfect in every way Don’t throw me away? 9/18/19 For Pick a line any line Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Richard Lamoureux One line Taken from 6/18/17 “Don’t Throw Me Away” poem
