Burning Blood
It is burning
the blood of birth
rises and grows in wrath as
it is heard of youth raped and murdered
with no cause to speak of..
Men of a differing tone in flesh
regarded as less than a man with no tone of flesh.
War, poverty, unjust and without hope of change
We are beauty of life, we create hope and take it
away..
It is the blood of birth within me that burns
in disgust for the course of path this human race
of which i reside is on pace..
We will destroy ourselves..
It is in our nature to love yes
it is also in our nature to tear apart and destroy
all that has been made good...
We see not the light nor grandeur of life..
Such a simple thought and yet since we began
we have lived in anger and destruction...
Where it begins is where it also ends
In the mind's eye, we can conceive a new
plan of action..
a decent path one of tolerance and forgiveness
carry not the grudges of olden days, rise to
a new method of understanding...
The burning of your soul within you, the fear
of a futureless future.
A decision must be made
The past is not to be lived again it is to
have been learned and growth to follow..
We are a society of norms that are not normal.
Racism, rape, words of hate, an abused youth,
a Godless nation following the path of the
easiest way out..
In the end we will be left with our own
existence and that is what we see in the
mirror..what we wake to each day..the single
soul of each of us is what we must live with..
Let the blood within you race through and through
energy to action, action to change, change with
direction, guided to peace and tolerance...
The rest is of no worth...
