AGAINST INJUSTICE

Posted on by Asonze Jesse


We have lain fallow in misery
In a catacomb of bones and sorrow,
Buried by pain inflicted by those meant to protect us

We have borne this shame in silence
Until our blood boiled into steams of terror
But now our hearts from this experiences are hardened
And our voices have burst forth to free us

The clouds shall rain unrest and the ground tremble with our anger
Until the wrongs against us are righted
And those that have injured us are vanquished
Then shall we lie fallow once more but in happiness
