Germany is a warzone: barren, silent,
Shivers and angst filled the air.
No more hope for us Jews, we are isolated.
It is unfair.
It was time: soon to be dawn,
We saw Eric Garner get killed by the police
We saw Trayvon Martin on the news as a kid gunned down for wearing his skin
We saw Aiyana Stanley-Jones get shot during a raid
Lying in bed wondering what I could have changed
The outcome of the day when you took your last breath and God called your name.
I wanted you to stay and didn't understand why it had to end
Forever in my mind
Forever you is mine
I remember when I met you
Damn you really caught my eye
I was standing there stuck as fuck
The flowers were around me
Like pink tissue paper
Guarding a presant
From eager eyes.
But this presant wasn't nail polish,
Lip gloss or barbie dolls,
It wasn't mudpies,
Or beebee guns for guys.
Faith
People say that we are molded by our experienes
I have looked death in the face
I have seen friends perish
People have burned before my eyes
My future was never certain
Each day became a gift
Today I'm feelin' good, I dare you to change that
The sun greets me with a smile while birds sing at my window
I'm grateful to be alive, I was blessed with another chance
Freedom to feel, Freedom to know
Freedom to speak, to live, to go,
Wherever your free life takes you.
To Freedom we're born, cause others have died
defending that Freedom, our nation, our pride,
Six months it has been
I’ve been counting the days
Since the night when they came
And took us away
I want to dance and cry and scream,
In memory of all the things we think are better forgotten.
"Forgive and forget", they say.
Forgive, by all means forgive,
But, please don't forget?
Ill never understand the dark dementing thougths that must have rushed through your head,
If only I could have been there,
if only I could have stopped you,
as your finger rest upon the trigger.
It’s not that I don’t remember
Or that I even forgot
It’s just that I need to move on now
With school
With work
With friends
With family
With my life
Black is a color but it's not me,
its just a title they put on the crayola crayon next to the gray.
But its gone far more than anything before,
never has this been a subject to explore.
tonight i cried
because i lost controll.
tonight as i stood in the shower
as i stood naked and alone
i cried.
tonight i remembered when i was the girl
the boys fallowed around
calling her
I remember everything you did for me.
I remember when we met in 9th grade.I still remember the prank you played on me you see,
I walked through the valley of the shadow of death
And witnessed the face of the many
Who suffered greatly without remorse
I gazed upon the anguish and
Fear within their eyes
Remember when we were strange fruit hanging from the trees but never ripe enough to be picked?
Remember when we had no voice but a singlye syllable could get us whipped?
In times of great strife,
Our faith was tested.
In times of sadness,
Our bodies were hurt.
In times we were tested,
We were stronger than ever before.
it was fate that brought me to this spot,
looking down the dirt road where my heart was caught by the swirling winds of your love.
the memories play like a movie in slow motion.
reversing time and going back to that day.
Every time we touch, my heart melts.Will you hold my hand forever?
When I'm cold you give me your sweater.Will you keep me warm forever?
When my time ends and you live on.Will you forget me so soon?
Mother Nature's test of will and strength
Us poets and Americans stand for you in length.
Winds were sent screaming through the fields like banshees,
But we are a country, country united, so show no worries.
Hurry, Hurry, into the deep
and you, my love, will be safe to keep
all alone and underneath
because up above the cyclone creeps
Oh! Trials! Tribulations
And terror in losing
Love in a race against
Anyone who's ever
Loved you; I loved
You first, as much
As I do, at least.
