Our Plight











Our Plight


We were taken from our ancestry
forced into existence of slavery
only to eventually
hang from trees.
And never to know
our real families history.
For us America is a disenfranchised society
that lacks love in the form of humanity.
So we exist caught up insanity
if we are proud then its seen as vanity.
Yet no one wants to admit to these sins
and for the color of our skin
we are still condemned.
Waiting to be free
to really embrace racial equality.
But until then
we will always be judged
by the color of our skin.
Visualizing the horrific images embedded into our brains
our peoples plight is nothing but a long journey of pain.
An example of us always hanging from a tree

being still taught today that our ancestry starts with us being slavery.
