Best Slighted Poems

Slighted

We are a proud people
Years progressed from the hardest of times
History glorified, often fragmented,
celebrated, but not allocated true recognition.
Made infamous for ignorance
lacking the embodiment of a true essence

instead...

with great big hearts (I know)
From almost every walk in life

If you think it can be run
You'll...

Ignored and trampled on by those above,
The slighted artist has no place to bloom
And no confessor for his need of love.

He roams the streets at night in search of friends
Who might remind him of a brighter day.
At last he...

is trash like corn husk
Trump dental work showed a tusk
always did like Musk

of Trump had our fill
had failed to pay his each bill
which we...

The comment hurt and I withdrew
My response was brief as I promptly ended our conversation
Thoughts flooded through my mind
"He doesn't need me" "He has her now"
A truth that I sometimes still find difficult to accept
We shared a special, one-of-a-kind connection
A mutual, multi-level intimacy that we...
