Help Give It A Title by tunjilana: 11:17pm On Feb 22, 2016 |
My Josh Groban (weeping) inspired piece tonight How about we do it at a table Over tea, coffee, water or anything How about discussing shared prosperity and common growth How about we stop outdoing one another How about we stop playing catch up on ammunition Somewhere else to channel the energy All the negative energy hovering around What if religion was so comical, it never draws blood What if boys grow food and not carry arms? What if leaders give in more than they can ever take? I stay in my sack, cowered into believing I’m alone The wickedness of the world echoes deep The realities of Northern Nigeria, Syria and Palestine The adrenaline of the gun-wielding teenage boy The infidel hunting brain-washed junkie The racist, the bigot, the tribalist The time-bomb who can’t see beyond his nose The lousy one who doesn’t belief 7 billion should be diverse The conscious one who doesn’t see we are created equal How does one leave this sack? The only known protection! We are tired of making holes in the sack Peeping to see who is smiling or holding a gun Weary of building walls and lighting fires Tired of asking leaders to lead We simply want our world back. 1 Like |
