Paint Me This

paint me this…

blindfolded,
off-centered,
she saintly
stands…

heavy
is the load
injustice heaps
upon the just

shrouded—
invisible
her purpose
is no more…

murder
roams unchecked—
plentiful prized prey 
in overpopulated streets

bigotry
has no shame
caring no apathy—
concern does no sigh…

crying,
this poem sheds no tears
just inked words
in search of a canvas…
