Change

New life blossoms
New Beggings 
Sure to come 
However Stains of the past carry on
The grip of racism
Yet to let go

Historical tragedies 
Come and gone 
But one remains time...

...If guns don’t kill people 
Why are so many people dead
Another moms child 
shot in the head
Blackboards white chalk
splattered in Red
A teacher killed
For something she said

Hunger

...I hate myself. 
I hate myself to the extent where I avoid looking in mirrors, 
In fear of the ugly monster that's hiding behind it.

...In The Fallow Ground
David J Walker

Old soil
Really grow

Ineffable – 
Still, I write these lines
                          trite.

Because it's visited ...
