Nothing in the world can resemble falling snow,
It’s one of nature’s beauties a lot of people don’t know,
Like changes in season the cold is as slow,
For no real reason the rain starts to flow,
With drops and trickles they fall on your feet,
The feeling of feeling is fun and unique, Continue reading “Winter”
All lives matter right?
It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white?
But please explain to me why
There’s nobody on our sidelines
When we disappear
When we are killed
We are blamed for the whole deal
Claims that what we did was steal
So they sent a whole field
of bad cops to “settle” things Continue reading “Missing by A.B.”
Darling,
Don’t detest downers deviating from drowning.
I am not a damsel in distress.
I am dubious,
doubting despair and darkness.
Don’t worry,
I desire greatness not delight.
People daring to drag me down the depths of depression,
but I am a diamond desperate to be discovered.
Dugout from the domineering people around me,
the distress is distinct,
disturbed,
and in disarray.
Peering down are the eyes of hate, equality obsolete
Tired of taking commands unwillingly
Women’s purity seized, the evil of man
Negroes put on the market like houses
All in the darkness led by slavery
Defined by one’s skin
Waking up as property
Tilling the land from dawn ‘til nightfall
Severely chastised
And lynched.
Who to change this?
Where to start?
How?
The possible outcome?
For what reasons? Continue reading “The Unfinished Journey”
It’s sad to realize
That your whole life might have been a lie
Because people want to hide
Your true identity and deny
Your ancestry
Like, where am I from
I’ve been raised on kingdom come
But all that I’ve done
Is question how things are run
For instance, how we got here
We were not immigrants
We are the remnants
Of those who survived captivement
Taken from their land, entrapment
On the “land of the free”
Forced to believe in another history
Taken away and forced into slavery
Discrimination was born
And we have worn
The scars of the past and mourn
Those who fought for change
And died
No
They were slain
The chain of history has locked the truth away
Pay attention when I say
That history is a false story so that we may
Believe that things had to go this way
And black people had to pay
All those who were different had no say
In their life
Take a moment to educate yourself
Because history as you know it isn’t completely true
They’re trying to brainwash you
Into being another human being
Understand that this is true
By playing into their hands
You’ve already given them the chance
To dance on your grave
Because now you are a slave in history

I am a female
And let me tell you a tale
About society
In reality
We like to believe
That because of our gender
We must be tender and not tough
Females can’t be rough
Or else we’re not viewed in such
A manner men call beautiful
Men think we must follow the rule
Of fragility
While they have durability
But this mindset creates a disability
And a war between the sexes Continue reading “War”
