He Did It She Did It We All Did It

we endure pain in all forms and we accept it because its how were built time doesnt erase the scares that stain our pride it makes them fade no doctor or surgery will make us all better were damaged goods over the years we accept and try to move on but this is our reality we make new friends and find more lovers underneath it all we soo discover we are one with eachother we were brought to be alike we are doomed we seek higher ground and search for our destination but were stuck in a perfect world no of this would exist but we are human and it does a country that believes inequal rights is the first one to take it away we are beaten and stomped into the ground by the men and women who are sworn to protect us we are raped and stripped of our dignity by the system made to serve us true justice and the wicked go free integrity lies between their knees and they expect it to be earned a dollar here a billion over seas yet we are a nation living on the streets our children are susposed to be our new hope but they die at the age of three not from me or you but the stray bullet or two that killed her in her sleep so you see going to pray and service on sunday is really a tempoary fix we believe in one God the father almighty maker of Heaven and Earth but the lives and hopes and dreams He created are all coming apart so many wanna end this suffering yet we are the ones to blame

This will go on my fav list. i like the last stanza. no point going to church every god given day, and have no love most of all and compassion for our one another. Love is not mere words. that is what sadly misunderstood. love is love when transformed into ACTION. Integrity with those who are meant to lead, and look out for us is just as bad. long story and will take up words. Great poem anyway keep them coming. Abe
