I Could Be Her

You want to know, why I'm mad? Why I'm sad? Why I'm outraged?! My thought process engaged? Got me wondering... Got me wondering... But, I can't wrap my brain around it! And, I've tried, but I'm still astounded! Because... I could be her! I mean... It could have been me. So now, my feelings have gone south. Yes, straight to hell, because, since when, do you get sentenced to death, for having a slick mouth!? And, since when, do the one's assigned to serve and protect, reign terror, unchecked!? Injecting their infection, with no fear of an inspection!? And I wonder, "How can this be!?" This is absolutely absurd! And, the truth is, I'm...Just...Like...Her!! I'm at a loss for words.

Joyce Hightower-What a beautiful poem that is so true. Danita Allen is such a talented poet. I read 2 of her other poems, and they are wonderful! So much real life stated in them. She is another Maya Angelou!!
