Black Poetry : Now Our Dreams

[rasheed]

8/25/76

When our means
are too limited
To fulfill our dreams
Frustration comes in
and often limits all
We stumble
and we fall
And we strike out
With little meaning
Or we spend our time
just gleaning
After the harvesters have passed
We're always the last
We, unprepared
Thus we have fared
Yet we have our dreams
But now they kill us it seems
And our once beautiful dreams of life
Now bring only misery and strife

Hi Rasheed...
Let our means...not be limited, nor our hope shattered.
For we are WARRIORS...and that's all that matters.
I'm aware of your message...I feel it and I like it.

Yes, for what you could have had, or should have had, this can weigh heavily. I liked the way you flowed with this.
