Best Oppressed Poems

Oppressor and the oppressed.

Who is the oppressed and who is the oppressor?
Who has the right to beat a random person on the street?
Who has the right when to pronounce a person guilty or to see that they is the victim?
Who has the jurisdiction to carry...

You can see, yet you do not see
A hole, where a heart should be
You can hear, but do not heed
The screams and cries of those that bleed
Can speak, but are strangely quiet
Oblivious to the disquiet

You can clearly see the discrimination
But are programed by the oppressors...

VITUPERATIONS OF AN OPPRESSED MAN
Heaven will not smile on your home
Neither will the sun rise in your dome
For you have crossed my zone
And indeed crushed my bone
You fed me with doom
Just because my land is rising in boom
For almost two hundred and ninety nine nights
And...

The grandeur of my life are elusive
Mine ain't melioration; it's oppression
My free life is cramped by chains of servitude
And shout out loud I mustn't 
Because even the power of my tongue is tied
Blank in me is the power to be heard
I'm the subject to the...

each stroke of greased fingers on the mohawk 
was a result of a genius work of art
an outlet where my soul barely peeks
yet you cut with your hypocritical shears and your rusty hand
and you call it discipline
and you call it concern
I call it ********

the shadows...

I will strive to remain cool headed and sane,
though many things are making me to go the other way,
Several appeals and resistance have been in vain,
Many times I remain bemused not knowing what to say.

Wastage and greed by the leading class I can no longer...

Their bodies stumble
 through the dark,
No mist of air to keep them high...
No circling the beaten ground  tonight. 
Voices  won’t sing, 
they will not feed 
on single bough of welted tree
this day. 
No, not today, not later . Perhaps 
when evening comes again,...

We all know 'America' is classed as the land of the free
But any country can only be so, if it includes you and thee
Just like life is, irrespective of your circumstances, they be
For no one should be oppressed, in stone scribed, decreed

But sadly this doesn't...

I do not fear one that bleeds like me
My death is certain, we are born and raised to leave
It is my name that shall live when my shadow runs to flee
It is my child that shall rise to walk my land as free

My enemy looks...

Feelthe love and feel the pain, as i walk through the valley of the shadow of 
death, entangled with evils that possesed. Making  my life such a mess i could

The oppressed 

It was twilight mist hung over the valley when I saw the big horse 
on a knoll was a warrior, a charger, looking toward the east. 
I mounted, and we flew to the land of hatred, the mount neighed
stamped its hooves ready for...

'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me',
Isaiah foretold, 'He's anointed me
     to bring relief to the poor,
     to show captives the door,
the blind to see and the oppressed set free.'

Jesus rolled up the scroll and sat...

I wish to be a poet, like Oscar
I’ve got so much passion in me, it’s pain
I long to take an adventure; wander
I’ve got the world in my heart- unashamed
Sometimes I wake up, and swear I can fly
I wish but to experience my life
How could I...

Black folk kept in sad condition
By owners without contrition.
What to do, what to do?
Wage war for emancipation
And forge a fresh slave-free nation.

The Forrest-Byrd Klan and Jim Crow
Surely are the ones you should stow –
What to do, what to do?
They rule and oppress your city
Blame them...
