I was at the airport the other day and saw some white men with their bags walking towards the terminal for their announced flight. What I saw in their bags are bits of our integrity and the bond that glued us to our culture as a united people. That was when I came up with this...
Our hearts beat from different worlds
Far enough to silent spoken words
We scream out loud with drawn swords
Communication is tampered with even when we ain't dump.
We look different unlike innocence
We bought anger and sold out our conscience
One people, one nation- a truth which only exists on our lips
But we are ready to strike when others fall asleep.
We are sixty
A time that exposes the duration of our foolishness
But we are the smartest people in the world.
Well, that's another self deceit.
I'm tired of praying for change
When it will never affect my minimum wage.
Since the young never get old even at age seventy five,
Then the young shall never grow.
