No legs to march once again which leaves a poet only his words.
long time past
my country
my president
saw
my civil rights dance
a chance to delete me
and yet
i refused to go
moving from place to place
no mask hiding my face
to hide my trace
in circles of rhyme
it is now
and they march
for civil rights
in front of such
a mirror of time
filled with images
the innocent
black faces and more
disrespect for life
deep within evil
white man dreaming
our country
our president
watches from behind white walls
our civil rights dance
a chance to delete us
but for
we are the vote
we are our country
we shall
delete them
so
stand your ground
regardless of cost
march on
vote them out!
dance them down
for they are blind
and
you can see
A great rallying call for justice and equality. The 21st-century belongs to a different color and creed. We have a chance to erase the hierarchy of oppression that has existed since time immemorial. We can banish all of the bigotry, oppression and violence. Simply by deleting those who thought they had the only right to lead, primarily with their greed.
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
