What Am I...

WHAT AM I...

Am I a man or an animal?
I wonder... As I sit in this cage...
Eyes filled with pain, heart filled with hurt,
as the years have turned to rage...
It's designed to break your spirit,
the mental chains are being locked, shhh... Can't you hear it...
Or is it just me?
Am I sane or am I losing my sanity...
Day after day, night after night,
scream after scream, fight after fight...
Whose vision was to build prisons?
To divide our community...
Separating the Black families,
as we struggle for unity...
Me and you, him and her,
the blind can't lead the blind...
So all you see is a blur.
Please take off your Gucci shades,
there is no sun in here...
Boys forced to be men,
and it's all done out of fear...
Fear of the unknown,
fear of the unseen...
But now is time for someone to come clean.

Am I am man or am I an animal?

REFLECTIONS FROM MY SOUL,
