Poem
Where is our hope? Waging wars with not sense of direction Burning down our own homes with no discretion Fighting for peace with no results Anger building and no one wants to claim fault Tired of preaching with no signs of change Throwing stones at a glass house tryna turn the page Hope was lost when we realized freedom was never there Trying to be considered an equal in a world that is unfair When did the hope leave? Casting an iron stone with no sense of direction Anger building all around us like it’s an infection Trying to make a change with no leader No one willing to stand up and die for masses Ready to throw a punch but no organization passes Peaceful words being lost in chaos Hope is just a memory lost in his dreams Marches of peace now lost in the screams Will hope ever return? Pass down the words of hope to the new generation Take away the cloud of smoke and reveal the segregation Understand we are not free we are where they want us to be Know that we are stronger together, we can begin to see That hope is not lost for you, and we can fight Not for the cause of fighting but to bring forth the right Casting words and showing strength in a direction Laying waste to this infectious deception We are not free because we lack a sense of connection Without another dreamer who will stop this perception?
