[bodytext] => My African brothers and mothers are dying stricken with diseases hungry and crying who will hear their voices the screams on the wind who will wipe their wounds and bathe their skin who will feed that family forgotten and lone will you clothe the feeling chilled to the bone Meanwhile black in America We still fight for justices' right Lone man staring at the dark Sky's starlight Praying to the forefathers that have been bought and sold The ones that built this country so bold On bloodied backs and cracked broken skin He prays for that slaves souls to come within Fill this vassal with something so true Force me to be that part of you That aches with the Nigerian Suffers with the Nubian Bleeds with the Algerian And still calls me it's brethren Despite the fact that I've become Americanized Though the blood is being spilled turned blind eyes Choose to ignore No more Allowing my wrist blood to wash about shore of the Nile No longer in denial Of the lives lost I now understand the cost Meanwhile black in America It's 2008 And the latest debate Is weather or not to deliberate To allow a black man to run the states "My how we've come from a place of hate" To actually change the course of fate Finally it feels good to be Black in America [comments] => 1 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 25 [informant] => allidoiswrite82 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
