Danita Michelle Allen Poet Dramatic Verse

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.

So much real life stated in them. She is another Maya Angelou!! Danita Michelle Allen August 12, 2015 at 10:57 AM Thank you, Joyce. I appreciate the encouragement. May GOD bless you.
