(Poem) “This Is Not It”

A leech entered into my hand today.. Many hours passed before I started to feel the ache.
When I woke up this morning, I was ready to make a change to benefit my whole race,
because I thought that if I do my part by respecting my peers and treating all deserving
with grace, that we can get a step closer to winning our own race.. I remember we used to
alert our neighbors when the stranger was at the gate, but now we just sit around watching,
waiting on the stranger to enter and slay. With no love in our hearts altogether depraved.
When I finally looked down at my hand, my palms started to rot away.. with blood clots so big
I had to cut my whole hand off to be heard when I pray.
A leech almost drank all of my love,
only to feel my veins with hate.
I almost lost the girl who was full of hope,
determined to make a way, but instead I lost a limb and kept my soul in place.
