Poetry ~ An Image


AN IMAGE


A tattered soul deeply displaced
Running full speed in a never ending race
Deep wounds with no visible scars
An image of a black man behind bars

Careless lessons of life gone by
Countless mistakes with no understanding of why
Long lost with no direction back
An image of a black mother on crack

Difficult circumstances with no vision of a way out
The consequences to this equation is self doubt
Pressure so strong it is hard to cope
An image of our black children with no hope

God is our guidance so never let go of faith
Without him these are the images the devil will create
Let the Lord in and you will be lifted higher
Making the devil what he truely is A LIAR!!!!!!!!!
