Best Injustice Poems


Injustice
So many Americans think,
For us to truly succeed,
We must be an athlete.
With eyes on the black men,
They all assume we must,
Have good ball skills.

We have more abilities,
Than good sports agility.
We are not here to cause,
Problems and wreck the peace.
We just want our voices heard,
But instead...

Premium Member Injustice and Me
Verily verily you are not all alone
Unfairness has stayed with us history has shown
Injustice to anyone is injustice to me
I lament any injustice to those yet to be
Everyone is part of the universal soul
For whom the proverbial bell truly does toll
Across our globe intolerance moves...

Injustice
Injustice has been nailed
To the cross
Poverty,the garbage-lines
Have to go
Suspects I pray you'll get to know
That Jesus loves you
And that He'll make your evil hearts
Brand new
Injustice is such a petty thing
But in the midst of joy
Only Christ can bring
Through Christ the injustice 
That troublemakers starts
Can never...

Injustice
He prepares for a carefree day,
for jovial conversations,
for cheerful smiles and lively faces.
He’s a young boy. Just like me.
My mind swells with ceaseless terror.
 I plead in my prayers
that our lives shall prolong further than this day.
I prepare for the grand attack.

He ambles through the...

Premium Member Injustice - My Spirit
Their craving eyes watch hungrily
As food goes down the drain,
Their half-torn, old and dirty clothes
Are drenched by pouring rain.

They never have a resting place,
Or something close to 'home',
They have no proper livelihood -
On worn-out streets they roam.

People think they aren't of use,
Some even call them...

Premium Member Injustice Or Nature
We cry out for peace..in the wilderness
and yet live where death flows like a river.
We call out for understanding
and yet hate blooms with each new birth,
nourished by the generation before.
We pray for kindness,
yet every day nature shows no mercy.
We turn inward,
as though the answers sought...

Premium Member No Greater Injustice
No greater injustice than this:


To condemn people to death, just for tender acts of love,

While

Rewarding others, for committing barbarous acts in war! *

Premium Member In Memory
where we are born is a coin toss
some are lucky some are not
here we live a sheltered life
ignorant of the injustices in other lands
we take our freedom for granted
 and don’t give it a second thought

it’s inconceivable for us to imagine
that many know only oppression
poverty...

At the Gbv Protest This Saturday
Their hands raise with ours and for a moment we are all standing in perfect unity, every set of fingers curled in anger and defiance - and then they throw the tear gas.

Which is rich,
Because how many women have wept,
Sliding down their walls to their...

So black lives matter now we say
their worth now seen anew
While ages past we saw the day
we recognized so few.

But white lives matter too they said
and brown and yellow too
Yet centuries of hidden bled 
‘neith toes of masters’ shoes

Enslavement built our country strong
in goods and...

Premium Member Angelic Harp In the Rain
angels cannot interfere with injustices 
they witness in the mortal realm
their tears we know as drops of rain
may one day drown all and dishelm 

angels in show of compassion
do play the harp and throw a rope
hoping those who quieten their heart
will hear their notes of...

This weathering vessel that casts about
A barge adrift in the river of lies.
My crumbling ship, my hopes all cast in doubt
I navigate past cults of crying eyes.

This rusting old tanker betrays my flame
My boy joy driving fervent flaring glare.
I’m no match for terror by any...

Premium Member The face of youth
that look of innocence and expectation
that a future with promises awaits
their anticipation of clear blue skies
and hope that tomorrow will be brighter

that look of unadulterated naivete
on the eve of realizing what shape
we've left the world for future generations
problems of injustice and inequality worse than ever

that...
