I don’t get how people do this,
amidst circumstances
that I don’t have the fists for
as I would need all of yours.
Is this my compulsion to politics?
Even as I’m sure the CIA would kill me
then blame it on someone else,
Abraham
Martin
Malcom
and John,
this list could go on and on,
modern apostles of humanity
who dared to dream on behalf
of everyone.
Now they’re gone,
and their ideas with them,
as if slavery wasn’t extended
to include us all,
as if freedom for some
is naught but parole.
Liberty Denied,
imagine that?
Made official by
a loud wooden crack,
then all of society
turns their backs.
[Editor's Note: I'm almost certain that I became distracted from plans to take this further. It falls off a cliff.]
That's really nice, you are a very talented lady - look forward to seeing more. followed @portroyalpress
Wow this is powerful, well done!
