Black Poetry : Don’t you know

[Nahshon]

Don’t you know.................................someone is dying
Don’t you know.................................their love ones are crying
who is to show..................................those that are denying
who is to show..................................those that are never trying
I wonder why....................................I’m striving to live
I wonder why....................................I’m attempting to give
who am I...........................................endeavoring to show my love
who am I...........................................to the Almighty above
can’t you see....................................we need to take the chance
can’t you see....................................we need to take a stance
love we need....................................to always strive,
love we need....................................if we are to say we are alive
