Melani Udaeta Poet Other

Poetic Podcast Episode 27 Bop

The crowd shouted it was unmentionable, 
he was on their side; 
Their actions said it was okay from jump,
he wasn’t one of their people. 
Mix red to blue then go in reverse,
either way it always gives you purple;

Stop throwing the pot and hurling a kettle;

People with jobs can’t afford groceries,
you want support for a trending topic?
Parents with kids can’t get them a home.
Who’s cares if we’re stable at base level 
or not?
Sanity collapses into hungry stomachs 
trying and failing to fully fill empty;
They want us weak, we won’t survive;

Stop throwing the pot and hurling a kettle;

Nothin’ wrong with another unity poem,
elevating each other’s ‘unique’;
As one in our goal we finally celebrate,
until it’s more than a word we press on;
Let’s end the goop hiding behind subtext,
our blood is the same color as they say..

Stop throwing the pot and hurling a kettle.
