I Have Written a Poem

I have written a poem Bourne out of the deepest core of my reality A poem written out of fear Fear suffered out of pain Pain as a result of a bitter past I have written a poem of how the African gracefully broke the chains of slavery And also a poem of how even in independence, the African survives on Charity This poem I wrote Holds the keys to a doors of hope for a better tomorrow A tomorrow who's yesterday is today A today filled with blurred visions Blurred visions of a tomorrows of hope This poem would make a difference This poem would change the sequence This poem would ignite resistance But this poem wouldn't breed disobedience So don't think its all fashion when you see my eyes locked 24/7 behind shades Because it might just be my own way of hiding my vision from the lights of shattered dreams The dreams of yesterdays hope A hope still being hoped against hopes of tomorrow But until then, I just have a dream A dream achieved fully in writing So I have written a poem And this is the poem I wrote ...
