lightness in the dark
Hey there my fellow poets! Blessings and greetings to you all for a prosperous new year. Life has been pretty rough for me since I last posted but nonetheless, as always with God's mercy and grace I've persevered. I'm finally at a point where I can start posting again. I so miss being on here and reading everyone's works. I hope that everything is going well for everyone. Let's keep the inklove flowing!

Accountability

CATEGORY

Views: 263

When positions of authority
Blatantly abuse their power
Telling you what you’re seeing
Isn’t what it appears to be
We need accountability.

When the murderers wear badges
But skip the silver bracelets
And orange jumpsuits and
Remain free to kill again
There should be accountability.

Too much has gone on
For too long to too many
Man’s law isn’t enough.
So justice can truly be served
Why isn’t there accountability?

We shouldn’t have to fight
Day in and day out
Simply for the right to breathe
We’re all human beings
Yet there’s no real accountability.

I pray each night for lives lost
At the hands of those
Who had sworn to protect
I pray God comes and restores order
So there will be accountability.

Something’s gotta give.

This is the kind of art that Nina Simone spoke of, we must continue adding to the writing on the wall until it has no choice but to fall. Lady Poet continue to reflect the time.🔥
