Poem: Blinded
Lost so she's blinded by love,
Too young so she's weak-minded to the thugs'
smooth talking.
His words enter her heart and soul,
penetrating her pores,
coming at her hard like bombs and bullets,
from the Iraq War.
His words so finesse she staggers,
stumbling, welcoming something new.
But not knowing them before,
she doesn't know they're not true.
Hypnotized by his every word,
when his opens, she was
mesmerized by the thought of what
may come out.
Before she knows it, it's too late.
She's already taken the bait.
Now he's got her taken leaps,
she's in too deep.
The water's no longer shallow,
'cause she's blinded by tomorrow.
By: Anthony Heard Jr. AKA Jabari Al-Muhamin
