Chicano Eddie Poet Free verse

Remove the Black Veil From Death's Face

“REMOVE THE BLACK VEIL FROM
DEATH’S FACE”


when the wars of the world break,
the world protests.
when the population goes homeless,
the world protests.
when the population goes hungry,
the world protests.
when the population spreads diseases,
the world protests.
when the environment falls to the daily 
living of the population, 
the world protests.
when families spend more money 
than they can save, 
the world protests.
when a murderer is caught, tried, 
then let free, the world protests.
when the welfare doesn’t come in on time,
the world protests.
when a bad movie hits Hollywood,
the world protests.
when a book receives a bad review,
the world protests.
when the population is told how to love,
the world protests.
when the population is told how to worship,
the world protests.

when females take children 
away from their 
fathers, demand money and 
parade themselves 
using their children as 
trophies,

the world is silent.

the world was born of itself.
if the world only understood, 
fix the last of the focuses 
and the one’s before it, 
will never exist.


think what you will of this poet 
but it’s like John Lennon said:

“You may say I’m a dreamer but 
I’m not the only one.”
