Failing justice 101
You claim that we live in a just society One where law comforts the innocent And justice punishes the victim But that's not true is it? When in reality it's the opposite of that Especially when you are black For us We live in an alternate reality Where this doesn't happen Where we the innocent are falsely imprisoned...

BETWEEN THESE LINES
_______________________________________ Between these lines A poem starved of meaning lies Begging for redemption From injustice, hatred, and corruption. This poem is a mother One who stayed long after he left, the father. A young woman tracing love with blind hands A girl in a world where her rights are mistaken for demands. This poem is meaningless As spineless as a snail It makes no call...

If justice Is sending an innocent man Away From his family, His friends, His life, No trial, Because you don’t like his tattoo Is justice, I want no part of it. Can you not see If it can happen to him It can happen to anyone. Because he came here Illegally Is he less human? Does anyone...

Overcoming the Storm
OVERCOMING THE STORM Into the storm I must venture, knowing that any attempt to flee only prolongs the ravages. Like any storm, it is relentless and destructive, just as a well-organized group of savages. It rips and tears at the flesh with sharp talons, trying to gouge deeper into the muscle. Perceived as high and lofty, it disregards...
