Response to Dean Atta & Carol Ann Duffy in the form of poetry

This was an exercise in a class, a response to Dean Atta & Carol Ann Duffy in the form of poetry.

A blade held with rage.

The ignorant can not be saved,

From themselves.

And thus follow suit,

Whilst they try to refute

The truths that they’ve been taught.

The hatred based off of fear was taught.

And yet as in life, unlearned lessons

Are set to repeat.

A young man, future bound

Lifted off of his feet

His soul now gone.

His essence must flow, cause people Don’t learn, how precious life is.

Not one more important than the other

And yet are still to discover the subliminal lies that some are…

Quote, more important based on race

Have the right to displace,

Anyone that proves their agenda wrong.

But still people walk blindly, talk blindly

About individuals as groups, like cattle.

Among the cattle are those that will fight to transpose, the ideology put upon them.

Yet it’s not enough, to rebuff a generation of those, with their intended history locked sullen behind closed doors.

Within factions there is dissent, towards

Those who dare to bare their eclectic souls.

Not follow the line, to death or decline.

Enraging all those who stick to the mold.

Dismay at death, none of the good ones are left.

Infighting, outfighting, twisted bible phrases agendas.

Very little has moved forward, but to believe such is to resusc-itate hell fire, that bubbles under surfaces.

To acknowledge the mass hate, in hopes of debate,

Is to be percieved a fool.

For as long as everyone remains in boxes

It shall all be ‘cool’.
