Chastised

So you sit fallen head, blonde hair is now grey 

In your day you marched on the streets anti the N Word 

Loud and proud and bold, with us in line with you

There was blood on the books and hell fire to be paid

There were banners to be made 

Compensation to be raised 

You ask me now to view all people as humanity based 

That there good in the core 

Yet the memories stay thick and fast off the slights, the blighted looks and the outright abuse 

My skin does not change shade or hair turn straight and blonde

There is a saying ''my people'' and this is where I'm from belong 

My darling mother age is ok for you to step out and opt out

The emotions of it bringing shakes to the hand and worry to the mind

I will stand fist up and say proudly

They are mine, they are mine, they are mine

Thanks for the share, Sassy. I commend you for pounding wise and yet seemingly painful chastisement from a hear of Peace and Love. The last two stanzas are so powerful. Peace and Love, mlowe5.
