New Poem

See I’ve been pondering why life is so f--ked up Political wars cause tears of anguish to naïve cultures Sorrow massaging self inflicted wounds before we realized we split our own wrist I’m screaming for a savior in a world of solitude Screaming FREE US FROM BONDAGE AND OPPRESSION Wishing my echoes would stop whispering my own words to only my ears Wishing that America would stop provoking unwanted fears As generations pass pessimistic thoughts through dying years Eyes bleeding from seeing youth fill their appetite with loneliness and quench their thirst from tears Now I’m on my knees yelling a little louder “free us from this bondage!” to the unknown Red white and blue veins torn from the flesh of civilization As an unlikely hero rises I watch him rise covered in our lies, scars from our racism, bruised in our sin He still rises, he still rises , such a man of power as he slowly makes his stand Eyes of equality, justice, and change, he’s ready to reclaim righteousness He’s ready to heal the youth, kiss the now, and wash the hands of the old I stop my pointless screams and stare Stare into the eyes of a new I stare into the eyes of you
