Race for Equality
Method of attack,
Walking while black.
What is your job,
Remove the hijab.
White man's burden,
Forbid the turban.
America's favorite past time,
Make immigrating The Crime.
Abusing, no.
Terrorizing, no.
Policing the minorities,
Administrative leave for the authorities.
Sam may live without his appendix,
but can he survive without his ribs, his
Lungs, his
Heart?
One bad apple from 1607
Will spoil the whole bunch.
I'm just a black girl,
Who loves Michelle Obama.
And my mama.
This girl adores Beyonce,
But this girl is beyond staying gracious.
I'm only 18
But I am losing Hope.
This poem is about:
My community
My country
Our world
