Fight Back Poems

The power of being black

She was the rain 
He was the thunder 
And together they were an unstoppable storm
Both activists in their own form
Both doing what they were made for 

A duo who held a power that could destroy A system 
Meant only to break them
Built to control them

Her voice was fire 
Loud and unforgiving 
His mind was like

Fight For Freedom

Burning, broken bridges
are fixed when fighters faint.
Learners lothe their limits,
but painters pick their paint.

Builders break their backbones
so we can wonder and wait,
but city skyline sights
ramp a ridiculous rate.

Waiting wasn't working,
so someone sings a song.
It hurts the hearts of heroes
and those what wanted wrong.

We win this war together;
on devils, don't depend.
No one here knows nothing.
Fight with

Consumed

I feel the agony
Crawling up my legs
Gnawing at my arms
Ripping into me
Trying to take over 
I fight and fight 
Till the pain grows 
Never stopping as it eats away at me
Ripping through me.
Many might believe 
It’s simple to be consumed
that it’s quick and painless
but I know the feeling.
The sickening feeling of being devoured and consumed

Fight Back

I brush my teeth every morning,
 Toothpaste wobbles and bubbles madly with water,
I rinsed the tongue and push the dregs out like gutter
 I don't want to chase you away with mouth odour,

Yet, we all have  bad mouth still,
    When you unleash you dark words, it makes others ill,
If they ever

You Have Stolen From Me

I feel useless,
I feel incomplete,
I feel that my efforts are in vain,
I am always in so much pain,

I try so hard to pave a path for you,
I want to make you capable,
Capable of living a normal life,
Capable of an independent life,

People take me for granted,
They don't see my pain,
All they do is require more and

Call Me Back

You sent many signs but we failed to realise, analyse and react. You screamed but the cosmos was deaf. Had we reacted then, it would have surely raised your hope and strength. 
We feel guilty, we feel bad…but now, we can’t bring you back, whatever is the degree of our regret.

I am sure, if you

Premium MemberThe Best Way To Fight Back

When they come at you with pitch forks and tar
Get ready to fight back.
Be fierce, growl with your gut. Smack them upside their heads.

When they gang up on you, shove them into the ground.
Stomp on them if you have to.
Scare them to death.

When they come to you with a mean face
Open your heart and listen.
They

America Fight Back

America better fight back
We will be right back
And on the right track
America is under attack
This administration
Has shut down the nation
Over a wall
Time to stand up tall
It's going to take us all
To discover
Mueller's gonna uncover
So we can recover
Everything we lost
How much is it gonna cost?
We are so divided
We are provided
With an opportunity to work in unity

Fight Back

Terror is tumbling down to the Earth
The trees are trembling in fear;
The nature’s crying the birth cry,
And its raining at the top gear.

Thunder is striking so violent
Window panes hitting each other,
Everyone’s  trying to save ownself
And not their father or mother.

Suddenly a hailstorm smiled upon
Accompanied with a fierce storm,
But that could bring no harm at

Fight Back

Life was never like this,swinging up and down,
making a fool of me,as if i am the only clown.

Touching the sky always had been a dream,
though a distant one as it may seem.

But never did I lose ,the hope of reaching there,
inspite if the failures,which came to me so near.

Love the way , life plays games

"fight Back"

As a child we are raised to turn the other cheek.
When other kids say you are a geek.
I was so different then the other kids.
If they said anything to me I ran and hid.
They chased me,hit me,and called me names.
If I told on them I got more of the same.
In my room I would sit

All the critacism u bring,
Well listion up becuase it will,

Your little play thing,

Tashed and beat, now i fight back!!!!!!

Fight Back

I reached out to get a tape today.
It had taken legs and ran away.
The many different series I once had,
They are now gone and that is sad.

Another son fighting an addiction I see.
He is stealing what he can to purchase his weed.
He will look at you with such a straight face.
Then tell a lie, oh
