We the People

I write so I can be heard. Because actions speak louder but without words, Actions get mislead by failed revolutionary attempts.

I write to put my Mind at ease. So I wont be misread.

If only understood by the front and the back of my college ruled notebook

That contains literary works that no top notch professor could profess

And proclaim and teach with the flow that flows through my pen

And onto the streets to bring ease to a world lost in war,

Oblivious to the hell in Darfur

because the victims lack the power of words.

They are left breathless. Silenced by metal and powder.

Surrendering to the Man with the Gun

because Fire Power replaced Flower Power and Peace.

I write to bring hope. I write to cope.

To eliminate my fears if only for a moment.

I believe in my words. They can save lives.

My words can substitute victims with survivors.

Through my strength to move on, I stride to survive

And bring up all the people who cry every night for their prayers to be heard. To be saved by an Angel.

For someone out there to give a **** about their people.

I write to be that light.

The comfort through the storm.

I write to provide gateways for poets yet to be born.

Because WE have the power to move mountains and hills

And bring chills down the backs of our enemies at will.

I write to as a drug to enhance my performance, rock the cradle and the coffin. Stir up enough voice and bring life to the oval office.

And bring change to the land of the free and the home of the brave

Who take bribes from the trusts,

Becoming corporate slaves.

They **** the American dream with each cent they intake.

Contradicting the words our forefathers have laid

While ignoring the fights all around that resemble our fight against the Crown.

A citizen can lose trust with the **** that goes down.

I write to remain sane.

To keep my head above ground.

To watch My back and My front from the

"In God We Trust".
