A serious issue that requires more than just thought, it needs action and immediate change….
THE CRUELNESS OF IT ALL
Taken away from your land
And your home stolen
By the evils of cruel men
Leaving you with you nothing
But much agony and suffering
And a heart that is broken and swollen
And becoming the token symbol
Of a misnomer and oppression
True identities hidden
Along with forgotten uniqueness and essence
From all that has befallen you
And after everything that you’ve been through
That continues to plaque you
Even until this very day
And feeling many ways about this
As anger consumes and is seen
With tightly closed fists
Tired of the injustice
And racial prejudice
With everything else in between
And deems to never change
Many lives that are due reparations
So that they can go and rearrange
And make better preparations
Both future and present
Continuing to be stuck on repeat
From the same destructive history
And never learning valuable lessons
The doom and gloom
That continues to consume
Many of color
And carrying this residue
But how would those people like it
If someone came in and did this to you
Committing atrocious acts
To every one of you
You wouldn’t like it either
So, when did it ever become okay
Right or just
To do this to others
Whose very skin is opposite of you
Time to wake up to the truth
That many don’t care enough about
Or truly asleep to
Not realizing that crimes against certain humanity
Affects not one but all
In various ways after a fall
We cannot rewind time
But we can make a better call
And began to change for the betterment
Of those who have endured this
And unable to stand tall
To get back their true identity
And real lives
To be rescued and given
What is absolutely due to them
Stemming from murder and shock
Injustice and hatred
That should always be appalled
And never insult with an applause
We all know who these people are
And are the only ones on Earth
Who have and still suffer from
The cruelness of it all
Where writing comes alive
