Do you only see me when I’m Yelling

and irate! Flipping over cars and

causing destruction to your place.

Criminals and monsters full of rage. No

peace in my crying no humanity in my

face.

No cause for my frustration no real

justification. But you can see me

now! Engulfed in the fiery pit. You

can only hear me when I scream

only see me when I bust though the

front door demanding to be seen.

So, place my face on the front page

to display my rage. Market me as a

menace to society. For I stand tall in

the face on injustice. I yell for the

privilege to be heard because until

things change ill lay my body on this

pavement before I left you silence me

against my will.

Generations before me took the streets

and look how far we have come look how

far we have got with a little two

step and a quick trot. You're terrified when

I walk down the street with a purpose not

afraid to be beat. Sending your best soldiers

fully guarded by a metal sheet. You pushed me

down, but I was not broken. You choked me,

but I’m still breathing. You can’t hurt someone

with nothing to lose.

So here I stand in solidarity because you will

not silence me. It’s just too dang bad it took

tragedy to see any type of unity.
