Ive seen so many thing about racism on the T.V and in the newspaper, I thought I would write about it. This is the poem that flowed so freely from my hands <br /> <br />I walk down the street <br />There is no one I can meet <br />For I am not wanted <br />Like a cat in your flowers <br />A mosquito on you <br />People wish I wasn’t here <br />And yet I will never leave <br />I am, the black man. <br /> <br />I respect all <br />Even those who hate me <br />I wouldn’t hurt a person <br />And yet they want to hurt me <br />I stand out in a crowd <br />No one wants to walk beside me <br />I am, the black man <br /> <br />I can’t sit at the front of the bus <br />I must walk by <br />But every time I do <br />I get kicked by many shoes <br />So I decided to stop <br />Stand up for me <br />Live for my people. <br />For I am, the black man. <br /> <br />I refuse to listen to them <br />I get attack relentlessly <br />I still don’t listen <br />I shall never give up <br />Never fall in <br />For I am, the black man <br /> <br />I get taken away <br />But my spirit and soul stay <br />They will continue to fight <br />Continue to disobey <br />I won’t stop until we are free <br />To live life fully <br />For I am, the black man<br /><br />Dillon Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-black-man/
