Ebony Davis Poem
The speakers cracked to life.
"Please stand for the pledge of Allegiance."
"One nation under God indivible with liberty and justice for all."
Liberty and Justice for all?
Is that what we are making up it to be?
While people are being ripped from their families
And we are claiming to be the land of the free?
While "police agents" are killing people based on what they see, hear, and think?
United?
More like divided.
While people are trying to decide if it's alright to strip away what should have been provided?
Democracy?
Really?
While we are letting a man with over 30 felonies have a presidency?
But I guess we have never changed.
Racism has been injected into the veins of the land of the ill-gotten gains.
It stems from the roots.
The aggression towards people who are not the same.
But yet they want us to be,
"One nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all"

Ebony Davis Poem
Red lines
Some faded
Some still sore
Pain seeping to the outside
Until I can't take it anymore
Red lines
Some faded
Some still sore
Nobody asked what they were
Nobody opened up that door
Red lines
Some faded
Some still sore
Counting down my wrist
Counting up the score
Red lines
Some faded
Some still sore
Will it one day stop hurting
Will it one day become a bore
Red lines
Some faded
Some still sore
Will I one day start craving
Will I one day want more
Red lines
Some faded
Some still sore
I never understood what pain was
I never understood until I tore the delicate skin I wore
