(Poem) “A Child No More”

When I was a child, I fought whenever called.
But now that I’m grown, I only fight for a cause.
I fight for the George Floyds who died like a slave under free man’s laws.
Within three years, three murderers walked free like nothing happened at all.
I fight to give a voice to the silent pause..
I fight for the old, no, the original truth to receive applause.
Through division, we keep sitting, unable to lend a hand
to help our brethren stand through these thick walls.
I fight for a cause..
I fight to pick us up from the downfalls.
I pray to give us power over withdrawals.
Fight with me, not against me,
to restore what used to be the rarest, most pure wherewithal.
