Shattered Thoughts

Poem: Shame

Shame

By- Citizen_of_hell

I'm ashamed of what they did.

It makes me sick.

They were so cruel

All for some crown jewels.

You didn't even know them.

You just kept killing 'em.

I'm ashamed.

I share the same skin as you.

I am related to you.

I wish it wasn't that way too.

You tortured and hung them for all to see.

You just couldn't let them be?

You claim to love God.

But God claims to love thee.

Who is thee

If not a bee?

Perhaps thee is everyone under the sun.

But that just means you haven't won.

I'm ashamed.

I want to tear the skin from my bones.

But I know you'll all keep sitting there on your thrones.

They got on their knees for you

But you still beat them black and blue.

You separate their families 

And take away their humanity.

You whip them with no remorse.

You treat them like your horse.

You put them in a cage with no escape

You think your wearing a cape.

And it all started with an idea for money.

Do you think this is funny?

Look at them all bloody.

Tell me you don't see it.

Tell me it's necessity.

Tell me green paper is worth more than freedom.

You should let freedom rain down gloriously on the mistreated.

Let them be apart of red, white, and blue.

You might believe they do not belong but that is untrue.

They are more American than you.

They were beaten and raped.

But then they escaped.

I am ashamed

Because my ancestors did the same.

This didn't need to occur

It was like a world war.

And now you still want more.

You need to be stopped

Before you get dropped.

We want you blocked.

I am ashamed.

They hurt you for a silly reason.

They say you deserved it because you committed treason.

They lie.

They want you to cry.

But you have to fly.

They hurt you all because of the color of your skin.

But you have to keep that grin.

Don't ever let them win.

I am ashamed

But at you it is not aimed.

So you must scream 'FREEDOM' and let it be proclaimed.

For only then can we not be ashamed.
