Authority missed used All the time on the news All of a sudden a side we think we need to choose There was no need to Finally a video tap That shows what they do Gun shots fired A black woman dead (Breonna Taylor) My God she was getting ready for bed Now dead A knee to the back of the neck He could not breath (George Floyd ) A black man dead Not before asking for his mother A son, a big brother Now another CHANGE will be their legacy After years of suppression, racism We stand together Blacks and whites at their best And protest Demanding Enough, Enough It's time to end how rough STANDING TOUGH Together handcuffed (CHANGE) By color we are a race ?? There is only one race The human race As I write this I shed a tear In sadness And For hope That there will No longer be a hidden "ROPE"

The issues
in his or her green and kaki army fatigues they fight a war so where freedoms and democracy can prevail with no red cape no special powers without a reflecting shield they march into a battlefield guns drawn they put up the greatest fight hiding their fear of flight the whistle the bullets sound the direction the way the bullets paved their way they knew exactly where to end the god awful sounds as one by one they hit the ground the hearts slow and struggle to beat no loved ones by their side our heroes die

the death of heroes
driving down a road flying black crows alone all i see grave stones i cannot scream a ****** stream horrible scene heavy smog fog downed  logs falling frogs hairless dogs attacking a dream a dead deer blood smears devil appears his fires landscape seared a dream it's dark black light lacked a snack fighting back the pack stepping on the cracks they keep coming back flashbacks a dream was not wanted constantly it haunted it taunted in a place life not a trace null space no flowers In a vase a dream maybe

a dream
hot turns to cold this is getting old it's out of control which ever way the wind blows we both go again the craziness we cannot let go what is there to hold the things that have been told hide and go seek keeps us at our peak the slips the love that occasionally leaks two freaks the hand print left on my cheek the mean streak makes us complete week to week when things seems bleak does not make us weak the games i blame you blame there is no shame we both came tame not our claim to fame the games will never change not our strange we never stay estranged the games the power the desire we play the games

if i could to do it all over again where would I begin if i had to run another race could i make to the end if i changed my pace could my path be traced if i left this place so much i would not care to replace if i should die i hope everything i was told was not a lie if i am a alone i will find my comfort at home if i cry real tears will come from my eyes if i say goodbye so much that could imply if i fall i would stand up tall if i am headstrong i would admit i was wrong if i know you know me too if i or when i sin i would have to look deep within if i could change this world so much would be unfurled if i had to hide would that not be lie if i am me there would be no need than to be any other than me if i

a tear from fear will not disappear through the pain a constant year to the cheek adhering wiping it smears another tear this fear sincere wiping, it too smears another another and another fear those things i do not want to hear may i wake in a year to the tears disappeared a cry of defiance in silence the fear a tear in the constant voices i hear brings the fear a tear labouring for life my conscious spirit fears shown in a tear
