Imagine, if the world could just be one big happy family! Not realistic, right? Sometimes, we love people but can dislike their behavior or actions. People's negative actions can lead and escalate into so many issues that ONE cannot simply handle. So, why not try to reverse is all. With so much occurring in the world, I would love to dedicate this poem to individuals in our nation and worldwide to rock down with the peace signs and vibes!
Can the globe escape the treacherous paths of the dark?
Into the luminous light
Where peace lies ahead
But it cries for help without an utter sound
Instead it still its spread wings and influence people around
However, everything seems to be the opposite
Violence, hatred, the crazy regulations implemented
That is definite!
What happened to the peaceful protests and non-violence acts?
That our leaders, MLK, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, who fought bravely
And who surely had our backs.
Day to day and night by night,
The world is suffering and dreading in agony,
Dear Mama, can't seem to cope and whisper to her son,
"Baby, it will be alright."
She is worried if her young baby would gone
Instantly, the law enforcement or anyone could target him
Suddenly, he becomes the next innocent and lifeless victim
Over fifty-shotgun pellets
Where lies the bloodstain on our young generation's hands
Because their forbidden and painful past, some won't understand
There are too many of our young women
All shades of beautiful melanin
Who never intentionally meant to "give it up"?
It is sacred to them, yet they are taken advantage of
By men who do not really care
Yet, misuse these precious women
To become something made of
One may never comprehend
How he or she feels
The constant pain is unbearable
It almost seems real
He or she may laugh or play
But it is kept to a bare minimum
Because, "Hey, there goes pain lurking around the corner,"
To ensure that he or she crawls back and become a heavy mourner
It becomes darker, powerful, and over-consuming
Taking every inch of life and having me to question,
"God, WHY?!"
Just let me go, let me go
I am done and am completely through!
What's the point?
I see no hope, so I'll smoke my life away
With a simple "joint"
As you see, these situations are not all,
But just a few
Open your eyes to see a different view
There lies a horizon of peace miles and miles ahead
Along with its other siblings,
Love, joy, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness (Galatians 5:22)
These components are one of a kind
That will help us to commune in one place
And create unity, knowing it would be safe
And we would finally all leave this world
With peaceful vibes only!
