Tears of a Black Youth

I'm crying out with these emotions that i'm can't explain I'm crying out with two emotions in my heart,my sadness,and my pain My tears flow out like a river fall into an endless ocean My mind feels like its at war with my emotions. Can you see my tears as they flow out Can you see the pain in my eyes Can you understand the pain I'm suffering from Can you hear me asking why I'm crying because of the world's ever escalating malice I'm crying because of the news always showing victims of murderers and rapists I'm crying because seeing so many deaths. I'm crying because of seeing innocents breathing their last breaths I'm crying because of people dying on the street corners I'm crying along with the other mourners These tears are for those who've died in wars,barrios,and ghettos Even though we it was their time to go I'm crying because the the pain will never go away The tears will never disappear All i can do now is pray And that people can see this black youth's tears
