Title: Discrimination
It's all a question of power,
That makes the world go round,
And if there were no power,
You would hear but a sound,
The sound of screaming lives,
Going down the drain,
Screaming heartfelt fear,
With nothing there to gain,
Is there not a balance?
For power and domination?
It doesn't really make sense,
We're equal under this nation,
Why does one man have the right,
To say that this is this way,
I'm screaming my opinion,
This is what I need to say,
Why is it one man?
Not a woman ever?
It's this I cannot stand,
It should happen never,
Why are they always white,
And never honest negros,
This just isn't right,
But this is the way it goes,
People in the future,
Will look back at this dismayed,
Because people in the future,
Will help this trend to fade,
The past will be a disgrace,
Not noble, truthful, or great,
Because this power's going to waste,
On dishonesty, anger, and hate,
But now is the future,
And the right still stands,
To change our future,
Is in our hands,
It is my responsibility,
To help all people be equal,
Because appearances are silly,
Underneath we are all people,
Now we look at our past,
And are astounded the way it was,
The after-effects still last,
And that is just because,
We have a long way to go,
Before things are righted,
But if you must know,
Victory has been sighted,
Our elders do not care,
As much as young'un must,
Because they'll not be there,
To live in a world unjust,
That is why we must try,
To make things better,
Because we will see,
From the public eye,
If things have gotten better,
A Storyteller Topic - Kids Are Poets Too
Poetry is a great way to express yourself, whether you're feeling down or on top of the world. There are many different types of poems and remember, they don't have to rhyme.
