Poem Title:
Poem
a social commentary Among the vast of sea and land Where a nation is born Where a nation arises from the ashes to stand Upon other large shoulders. And coming from out of this very land we live, A mass of people from every race and creed, A nation of the rich, the poor that's ready to give, Solace to those who are in need. From the ashes of war and sudden death of a nation Young but ready to face any peril in its way Becoming patriots of a nation ready at any time. Struggling for equality Of rights we believe in, And that's not for some but for you and me As this young nation be always ready. Our churches may burn to the ground Or tallest building suddenly falls, But I know for each battle cry and sound, A young nation goes forward at any cost. When Black Lives Do Matters to some but not others, When fascism and racism bleed the bodies of our sisters and brothers And mothers hold their children tightly A young nation goes forward. When churches are supposed to be a place of safety, But instead killing fields for those hateful ones Leaving those behind to be Orphans, widows and in sadness. When there are men who are filled with hate Fueled like fire burning inside Crash into our nation's most sacred gated Just for the sake of freedom. Who will fight for me? Who will fight for those left behind? Who will fight so I can be free While this nation suffers and die. I lost faith in this nation As she slumbers and sleeps While there's a generation Trying to understand each other. The Rainbow People wants rights because they are gay The Indigenous People wants belongs to them Everybody's got a handout in everyway Pulling a nation further and further apart. Arise people of this Union so brave Arise and take note, Have you forgotten the blessings God gave While a nation sleeps away. In the vast of people in one place, Divided and strong But one as a Union none to replace Or bring about unity This nation we live in Yes, this nation we live in. 16 July 2022
