Liberation

Couldn't sleep

I do not believe in black power,

They called me racist.

 

I do not believe in Gay pride,

They called me homophobic.

 

I do not believe in my nation,

They called me unpatriotic.

 

I do not believe in the West,

They called me a Terrorist.

 

I do not believe in feminism,

They called me a slave.

 

I do believe in equality for everyone, regardless of skin, sexuality, nationality, place, or gender, by ignoring those aspects and focusing on the soul within.

 

They called me stupid.

 

But I still believe and always will.

Author's Note

Meh I couldn't sleep and came up with this. :( Of course, when I meant I don't believe in black pride or gay rights, I meant I do believe in it, but not solely, if you understand my meaning.

So simple and so powerful, at the same time.

I do agree with what you say. Believing through a spiritual way makes things better than generalizing the outside of an indiviually.

God created us all the same yet we're different in some ways.

"You're drinking booze... you're the biggest alcoholic on the face of the planet." Yay for obvious fallacies!!!

one word: "wow!"
simplicity was definitely the strongest aspect in this poem.

i liked how you used simplicity to convey a strong message instead of merely just utilizing it to enhance your style.

i'm absolutely in love with everything that this poem contains and what i love most of all is that there is an apparent lack of poetic symbolism in this one. it's nice to read something insightful without forcing your brain to work. not that i don't like symbolism. i use it all the time. what i mean is that it's really refreshing to read something new for a change!

magnificent! another favorite!

I completely agree with SimonitroX, the poem is written in a simple format, but this simplicity is powerful, as you don't use any words that are disposable; every word used helps make the poem more powerful. This is an awesome poem, well done.

I understand your meaning quite clearly. I absolutely LOVE this piece. It's funny... cuz I just changed my tagline and it runs around these same lines. This is supreme! Keep standing tall, WonderWoman!!! : ) never let your powerful voice be hushed!
