Poem Title:
Poem
Taking a stand is more like a demand. Quit asking for what they ignore. Be more than a supporter. Be a man. Otherwise you will always be on the other side of their door. Knock, Knock, Knock. Their not letting you in. Your visions to them are a bore. Be forewarned. Don't become another victim scorn. We vote at their polls. Wonder where your vote goes? Oh they got you with the, "We gave you a Black President" craze. We are still at war. Still broke. Children still hard to raise. But it has nothing to do with race. That's no longer a factor. Black Brokers. Black Bankers, Black Singers & Actors. Be forewarned. Don't become another victim scorn. Even who once had blacks enslaved have to eat off of floors. But we still struggle for what exactly to stand up for. They say don't discuss Religion and Politics. But that's the earth's variety. Do you really have to wonder who are the real secret societies? So try with me. Seek what they wish of you not to explore. What they say is unlawful. Not to be performed. Be your own you. Don't be like he before or him who may come after you. Be forewarned. Don't become another victim scorn. Suicidal thoughts.. Because of words and bruises. Go to the police, case treated like a nuisance. So what's the excuses? Seems like its alright to be beat for who you are. To bare scars. The only hope you have is wishing on a star. But that's not it by far. You say you have the ammo to fight this war. You have an advisor write a senator a speech, as if their hearts are warm. But they don't care. That there are grown men who still have nightmares. They cry real tears. To be bashed is one of their greatest fears. Because of difference. We have to now fight for our civil rights. Constitution won't back us up for what we do in the bed at night? Please, Be forewarned. Don't become another victim scorn.
