Lynching Poems - Poems about Lynching

The case of lynching vs suicide A black man Hangs Lifeless Silent Eerie The only sound Is the wind thrashing around As it surrounds The black man Screaming loud Trying to get the man to make a sound The wind howled In pain In agony Watching as the whole town Laughing like he was some kind of clown The police never showed In the...

A circus act A puppet A clown When you think of these you think of a Performance Or even entertainment You think of Comedy You think of Jokes You think of Laughter So what happens When you become the butt of the joke Where they are not laughing with you But at you Not because you're funny But because of what's being done to you Oh you don't know Well...

They kept finding different ways to lynch us Oh we're still spectacles They just watch from their smartphones Watching as we struggle Watching us be tackled They don't see us as victims Just waiting for a pundit To say we deserve it Let's not forget about the 13th ammendment Instead of being slaves they just entered our names in the system As...

RamaRajya, Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent utopia of mutual tolerance, has no place for bigots who lynch and leech the Weak. Lynch my body Pinch my soul Punch my pride Drench my blood Staunch be your henchmen Bunch of bigoted hooligans Flinch us they from progress Wrench us they from justice Exhaust every trick in your bag Pull every arrow off your quiver Bribe your cheerleaders forever Swing your...

The Lynching Oh how it is, to be an oak tree, one time a nut and now mighty. One time blooming in the bright sunlight, now it is tarnished by winter’s blight. So hideous and putrid the acts of man, even the vultures dare not perch near the stand. For a simple man hangs up in...

"HIGH TECH LYNCHING" April 6, 2023, a dark and sad day in Tennessee history Black men striped of their first amendment right to tell their story The Declaration of Independence, states that "all men are created equal" But the miscarriage of justice carried out in Nashville, quite illegal Two young black Representatives expelled from the state house Wrongfully discarded, unconstitutionally trashed,...

We saw blood on the leaves Yeah! Blood filling the roots Our ancestors hanging from trees Their blood flowing out to the slave seas Chained crews taken To the cane fields Haiti toppled from the outside, see reels Shaken down to it’s knees What they set out to achieve Ain't no lie, ain't no dream The enslaved Screamed Our Blood on the leaves Copyright March 4,...

Santa went out last night dressed as the Grinch. Partied too much got into a tight pinch. Woke with aching hangover. Mrs. Santa, boil-over, Bells ringing, threaten with deer's reins to lynch. 11/13/2022 A Fun Holiday Limerick Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin...

“Lynching” Black man floating in space Knotted rope about his face Crosses burning White sheets chanting Black man squirming Blue knee choking Buildings burning Dark nights looming A noose from a tree A boot and a knee A black man dead No one lead Gutters vomiting Jesus faltering Canisters of tears Scattering fears Memories from the past Recall the last Nothing changed Our nation estranged Horrible brutality Watching reality A hang...

I’m calling you out! Many ‘came and went,’ but after George Floyd, I thought it was done; Now, two more possibly got hanged, and another, shot with a gun. ‘Black disrespect’ is real! In the midst of protesting over the same; These ‘white’ cops perpetrated this undeniably racist act once again. I couldn’t believe it; their actions were, brazen, brash...

Lynching Live; So What? Trumped-Up Normality Reins Knee lynching streamed live, Shadowed death’s source is revealed; Justice remains blind! Cameras roll, showing death’s shadowed source. Cameras don’t lie; streaming the truth of live murder. Oppressive actions of intentional racialism unveiled; Yet, lynched justice remains dangling on the tree of life. In oppression, when freedom fires flare-up, Executive ordered murderers begin shooting; Revealing despotic authority racialism controls. With the support...

Today, lynching has gone From roped necks and trees To piercing bullets and klan knees; Free from guilt and doing no wrong. Yet, the hued victims remain the Same; And seeking immediate justice seems Just insane; Today’s dead man walking, is surely A young or old black; There’s no shadow of doubt that normal Racist murder is back. Those blacks that the present pandemic pulsating virus Don’t...

(Southern hospitality with a twist of lemon and a rope) Who dares to serve me tea with lemon?! On my own plantation born in heaven Flowing in the land of milk and honey Did I not say please....I'm sure I did But now comes the first meal of the day spoiled With a biter taste of lemon in place of honey What...
