Poem Title:
Poem
Guilty by birth, A citizen by a vote A right that took centuries for women to exercise A narrative that still paints societies In two opposing colors With tension simmering underground And the quack so profound. Divisions, discord, and decadence Trust thinning frivolously With institutions systematically sidelining one end With some Colors more colorful than others, In a world they paint the same Walls. Isn’t this inexplicable, squandering millions building walls? Barring rodents from Mexico crossing only to pick crusts off the master’s plate. I still wonder, what happen to equality The fundamental slice to humanity. A quest dawned since inception of time. I still wonder… The world plunged into confused peace With gangs, guns, and gallants Of men and women in uniform With their riffles pointing at us. What happened to the oath? To serve and protect Isn’t that your duty? Why have you changed Making deals with the devil. Unleashing your wrath on innocent civilians Falsifying their charges, Deliberately mistaking their identity Making them guilty in their innocence. I still don’t understand, the courage to choke a man... In the eyes of a camera, I still don’t understand why you refused him to breath I still don’t understand the courage to stand and watch the man pleading, I still don’t understand the brutality of a police officer in uniform, I still don’t understand why call an ambulance when you opened the wound I still don’t understand why you stopped the people to help I still don’t understand why justice is specific to Colors I still don’t understand why some people are more equal than others... Lets all rise for 8 minutes 49 seconds!
