Purpose: Putting the new presidency in perspective



Donald Trump,
You’re a president,
For all to see,
At the end of the poem,
I don’t need nobody,
To follow me,

America stop the panic,
You’re not South Africa,
They got it really drastic,

Sat in my college course last semester,
A South African native, said stop your crying,
The South African president made it legal for random people,

To randomly walk in your house,
I got family still over there in the slums,
And I have to worry because they can’t get out,

She said “you’ll be ok,
It’s just a president”,
Not a lynching in the south,

Where’s Black Lives Matter,
And all the so called organisers,
Telling people they’re strong,
Where’s unity during the storm,

It’s the clash of the titans,
Good versus evil,
Good is winning,
Females in higher positions,
Young kids pursuing entrepreneurial ventures,

But we still got ways to go,
Blacks being killed,
And we got the videos to show,
Unemployment still high,
So you never know,
When employment knocks at you,
So…

We have to remain humble,
We have to critique ourselves,
Change society,
And not let it change ourselves,

Racism is real,
We still got a fight,
So lick your wounds but still,
Press on,
Because like Maya said,
I rise

Never would have made it, Would be in the grave if, That knife was closer, If that condom wasn’t trustworthy, If them bullets didn’t call somebody else home, You have no idea, How many nights I cried alone, Because my sins were tucked at home, While my conscious dome, Realize God, Let me walk publicly distant from, The struggles I struggle with, When no one talking, Just the devil at my brain, Constantly knocking, I would have never made it to my success, Went through battles, Though no visible battle scars, Just PTSD, And hidden flaws, Things still trigger me, I can’t escape my past, Only can evolve as a person, But can never escape my innate ability, God saved me, But tug of wars I still see Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twitter

Inspired by Angela Rye's Comments

They made Angela Rye cry, Time for our form of apartheid, People just starting to be woke, People been hanging from ropes, Even a few months ago, They failed to acknowledge the truth, When it’s been staring at you, 400 years ignored, What does that say about you? It’s cool, You didn’t believe what we say, Then we provided you videotapes, You choke us to death, Shoot us to dead in broad day, And we’re feeling helpless, And our mothers continue to cry every day, I’m still hopeful for better, And I believe in God, Sometimes I wish I could lash out, But my hands are tied, Can’t be the hero my people need, It hurts me to see, The level of success I have, Yet it still don’t matter, They still treat me like a savage, Hate that our babies have to grow up in this madness, Feel like daily, Amerikkka has given us sadness Writer: @living_everyday_optimistically (L.E.O.) - Instagram Fan page: @LJS_Writings - Instagram and Twit
