Orenda
January 9, 2021
Empowerment present in me
Leaving my soul
To want and need to be free
Changing the bad in me
Into what’s better
Racism,
Because of skin
Having to become violent, just to protect our own,
Or,
Being threatened
To be put behind a wall
With no communication
To what’s beyond that evil barrier
Or,
To be sent back to the past
We felt how they feel
Things are just different
But I plan to change that...
