Poetry

America

what's power without a cause? Humans treating others with no decency, Chlidren being gunned down, Black people still being treated like dogs, Taking away
a woman's right.
Y'all wanna stop abortions, but can't protect the kids that come with it.
Y'all preach up and down about black culture but can't protect the makers behind it.
Y'all are confused on why america is going downhill. Why no one can stop it.
Why children are scared to go to school. Why teachers are afraid to go to their jobs. Why people are terrified to go into a supermarket. Why a black man's
heart races when pulled over by a cop.
What's power with out a cause?
America.
