A People Poems - Poems about A People

In a world full of snakes How do you tell which is poisonous Each identical Yet some harmful In a world full of political parties How do we know which one is all inclusive Different paths But the same ending? In a world full of smiles How do you differentiate between lie and truth When promises are empty And lies become...

Expectations No rest No time to breathe A weight on your chest Nothing less than excellence Even that's not enough A world that tells black people That even if you follow the rules You are still not good enough Because as long as your black They will always have the last laugh In a world that preaches equality It sure is a hypocrite From...

Everyone wears makeup. Not just blush and eyeliner but masks we paint in silence, to hide the storms inside us. We wear it when we’re trying to come clean from telling a lie that lived too long in our lungs. We wear it when we're passed up for promotion smiling wide, while swallowing the burn of being overlooked. We wear it on the first day of school, trying to...

All the broken people I look around and see so many Then I realize I am one Of the broken people All the broken people Looking and waiting For answers that don’t seem to appear Waiting to be heard Waiting to be seen Waiting for an answer All the broken people Needing to be put together One more time Or Maybe Some of us broken people Don’t...

The promise of a new world Lies they tell to keep us in line Easy to control when you abuse people's hope Easy to smile when you have no soul A change in name Is not a change in game Incarceration didn't just happen in a day It was just an evolution of slavery From the scorching hot days on the...

Rip the sheets of comfort of their privileged bodies Let the cold hit their skin To feel the harsh reality of life Fed with safety and security No longer will they be coddled by warmth Whiteness will not save you Your evil will be put to shame Your secrets pushed into the spotlight Pandering will not be allowed We are tired of...

So far, they go - A distant throw - Down simple snow - Forgotten. And yet, a maid - Through crime, parade - And riches swayed - Ill-gotten. The weak confide - Then run to hide - To turn the tide - Now rotten. A dream, they’ll fade - The cuts, been made - No chance, persuade - Stained cotton. ...

Let each of us, from our heart, do what we are led to do. If the intent is for the good of ourselves, others, or all of humanity, it will be a good thing that each of us will do. ...

Soon the night will be coming Neon lights will be humming Las Vegas opens her eyes The rich and their sifters The dreamers and drifters Will converge for the prize Each night another born Drawing cards till the morn Nothing else will suffice On a starry-eyed mission Their misguided ambition By the roll of the dice Still, there's winners and losers Tea-toters and boozers For most...

To Gaza people —Real Abdullah What will i say for Gaza, I have no anything to say When the people of Gaza, Don’t get any honor- like a pet. Then i feel bad—I'm about to cry . The gaza is the third world, Probably God doesn’t live there And doesn’t stay with Gaza people. Gaza is alone, The people of Gaza are all alone. Anyone...

Their love of our fear will be starved We will transcend their want of our complacency We have a need to be unified All we must do is broaden our definition of acceptance It is not our desire to stay uninformed for long Nor to willingly stay blind to our path No sides of any faction deserves...

the truth is a drunk in the corner nobody wants to look at because he’s missing teeth and smells like the gutter. people like their stories neat— swept floors, white smiles, the lie folded in like sugar in coffee. you tell them the world is falling apart and they’ll laugh until the ceiling drops on their heads. the unknown sits outside the door in the rain, smoking...

Peace brings equality It's why they crave the chaos It makes then feel less empty It makes them feel validated Silence asks too many questions The silence holds the truth The chaos hides lies It's why they start wars As it distracts from accountability A pretence they've kept up for centuries Knowing one wrong move will have their facade crumble The...
