[hometext] => I hope this makes people think, especially blacks.
[bodytext] => Our ancestors, early generation who gave their lives, because ours were not meaningless Even upon hard times they kept focus, they saved our lives by choice and because they must We ungrateful beings of now don't appreciate the hard time in their lands For every punch to the face, whip to the back, we show our respect by getting cuffed, or going on an attack For every bloody hand from a cotton field, by one of us our own people are killed For every rape that they let slide, three lost ones look for someone in which to confide Yet once again Feburary is here, plain month to some, but our of us should flow tears Even to some of our own kind, this isn't a valuable time Lives were given, taken, charges were filed, unseriously taken, dragged everywhere, some embarrashingly naked Gone but in our hearts, are awakened Dreams jarred, but never broken But even alive we still feel the rope around our necks as it tightens But even at death's end they went on fighting History in the making We are the real embarrashments With our club hopping, chart topping, trash talking, bra chopping, lung blocking, heart stopping, no good generation We should feel the pressure like a mother's cruel love, but devotion and determination We should be making them proud instead...they suffered and died useless deaths [comments] => 2 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Rogue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

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. ©
