I Stand JudgedA Poem by LaneThe aftermath of all that is going on has prompt me to view where I stand in my opinions with all that is happening in Baltimore.The glares and stares don’t bother me Im use to the way I’m judged Fear of a silent hello can’t phase me Don't want to inconvenience you with that pain in your neck Authority holders claim my name Peace is not still but worth a voice to stand Im use to the way I’m judged Cant break silent when its so loud Full-mouthed words of chanted promises without agility Make a move and sound all alarms Can you see? Can you hear? Can you feel? Your children can walk alone without judgment Can mine stand alone and protest peacefully? © 2015 Lane |
