Injustice is just a nameA Poem by MarcusFriasMe and you were young That was when we even sung That was back in the day When it was okay Sticks and Stones, would absolutely never hurt my bones…I said My color was a signal, that ill could be was single That all I could do is fail And end up in jail The world was either black, or the world was either white There was no grey, and people left me on the road like a stray. It wasn’t my plan to take a wrong turn or look the wrong way Sure I’ve made mistakes, but not in the worst way Who are you to say I can’t be anything No one, is that right? But its ok I was once no one but today I am some one I endured many storms, climbed many mountains, embraced many bruises, but that doesn’t matter Because it made me who I am today. Black or White, there is no difference Although in this world we still feel the resistance We are all humans, with drive and determination We are all people, with troubles and pain We are all the same until our color is given a name Despite our labels, we always rise, especially with Gods Praise Injustice is just a name © 2010 MarcusFrias |
