Feel Your World

A Poem by Franchezka Rosales

This poem focuses on Racism that our american heroes have tried to fix and their hard work has still not been able to change the big battle.

Sit, breathe, close your eyes,

Hear the cries,

As he dies not knowing what he could’ve done.

You see the world knocking on your door,

Asking for help,

There’s nothing you can do.

You hear again the boos they yell at for the poor black girl, looking for her future that’s holded in her hand,

But there’s no hope in this world,

All she has learned was put to shame,

The racism hasn’t stop,

You’re yelling for it to go away,

But all you see is a Slay,

You wish you could give that skin color a different color,

Black isn’t enough for some people.

You feel the pain dripping from the palm of your hands,

We got no right, no hope, no future, no opportunity…..

Feel the world in different ways,

It hurts like falling from a building ,

You’re working hard, full of wisdom,

But they don’t see that, they see a color

When will this world see me for myself and love me for my color?

Connect this world where a color doesn’t matter?

Connect this world were you won’t be judged from first look,

Connect this world where people will appreciate you like the whites…...

Connect this world to a better Paradise?

The Future holds the power to changes ,

To a better world for all colors,

Culture doesn’t matter, we’re all the same,

Born the same, money doesn’t show who you are,

Classes don’t matter, border’s don’t matter ,

This world should count on one other,

War doesn’t solve anything….

Now open your eyes look around see the people around you

See the different colors, they don’t matter because we're all unique and we all have talents to share and learn from one other,

Look up into the sky and see how the blue and white sky share their space even if there are two different colors, they share it and make a beautiful world….

Author's Note

We see many students, immigrants and adults not being able to share their bright talents and ideas because they're afraid of being judged by other people.They put themself as if they weren’t nothing in this world but don’t see themselves being successful people. We see many students dropping out of school because they think they can’t be nothing in this world.Many bullies or racises people think that there rights,riches or success in this world gives them the key to make someone else feel like trash or like there slay when they don’t know that that could be them one day.We see people trying to change himself to be like others. We see that a color of skin can have a label. That the color of skin has a class. Where people are born matters. But my heart felt like we were all the same and instead of judging we should learn from one other we should share our unique talents to make something to help others.
