Madonna Amah Poem
To be or not to be
To smile or not to smile
To wave or not to wave.
A foe I must fight
A stranger I must meet
A friend I must greet.
Why can't I just be
A face that no one knows
A voice that no one hears
A person that no one sees.
Why can't I just live
Buried in the rubble
Head underneath the sand
Eyes closed all the time.
So no one can say
I know who that is.

Madonna Amah Poem
The shackles that hold me
Visible to my eye alone.
The collar around my neck
Only cause I allow it.
The chains around my feet
Have bound me to this prison,
A prison I call home
But feels a dungeon.
The boulder on my chest
Shouldn't keep me so stunted,
But what a great locksmith
I've turned out to be
An oppressor I have made me
To hold myself in place
And even when I try to
I cannot let me go.
A slave I have turned me
To serve until I'm dead.
But maybe someday
Unshackled I'll become.
