Black Poetry : BROKEN SENTENCES

[mistaliberator]

GAVEL CAME SLAMMING DOWN
THE ALARM CLOCK OF A YOUNG MANS LIFE
JUDGE GAVE THE SENTENCE
WITH HIS FIST HANDCUFFED
BEHIND HIS SCARED BODY
HE CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIGHT
HE FELL VICTIM TO MOVING THAT WHITE
THE SAME THING HIS DADDY HUSTLED
TROUBLE IS
ALL THAT IS LEFT
PAIN IS THE ONLY THING FELT
ALONE HE MISPLACES HIS GUILT
ALL HE REMEBERS
IS TRACES
FROM MOMMAS BROKEN CRACK PIPE
AND THE WORLD JUST REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND
HIS STRUGGLE
HIS LIFE
HIS HUSTLE
HE NEEDS NO APOLOGIES
AND HIS FRIENDS ARENT PRESENT
JUST THE DESOLATE SOUND OF SATANS VOICE
SINGING
FOOOOOOLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW ME



HIS LIFE WAS THE STATEMENT
IN FIFTEEN MINUTES
HIS LIFE WAS CHANGED THEN REARRANGED
HES STANDING WITH AN UMBRELLA
THAT JUST WILL NOT STOP THE RAIN
THE CALL HIM JUSTICE
JUSTICE HE KNOWNS NONE
HIS LIFE STANDS STILL
AWAITING THE VERDICT
GUILTY SCREAMED LOUD ACROSS THE COURT ROOM
EVEN CONGRESS HEARD IT
SO NOW HE HAS NO SECOND CHANCE TO DANCE
HE NOW BELONGS TO THE STATE
COULDNT FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE TODAY
FROM THE STREETS TO THE CAGE
FROM THE CAGE TO THE PAGE
HE HAS BECOME
AMERICAS HEADLINE
AND HE JUST
CANT UNRAVEL THE TRUTH
THE SENTENCE
BECAME A STATEMENT
THAT STATEMEN SOON BECAME A PARAGRAPGH
EVEN THE MOST HIGH CANT UN DO

Becoming just anoher digit in a never ending array of dead end numbers. Where's the justice in that? How will this cycle end? Thought provoking piece, poet.
