[bodytext] => In the eyes of many By Adam M. Bland When one dream dies then another one rises and begins to grow different shapes, different sizes, and different flows but when one dream is shared in the heads of many then we begin to see strength come together, However these heads I speak of used to possess not a single penny, In fact I will use the term “dead broke”, Because if a man works his vision blurry for no wage And begins to age into grown folk Then what has he been living for? Maybe he was forced into submission And now his heart, along with spirit And mind are in the worst condition. It’s a very sad sight when these men And women share the same welts, Cuts, and bruises and broken down spirits, Therefore their flame diffuses. Blackness of the heart makes it own mark with a thick line But all evil will completely dissipate in due time. Time, also known as the essence of elevation For people looking way out, Because one body goes through infinite struggles. Similar to a puzzle that’s not complete Because of one piece. The lynching had to cease for those sharing the same pigment on their skin Or at least relevant, and finally the group was born Sworn to fight for those whom couldn’t do it themselves Against in-justice Fighting those who turned it into just us. Now in order to light the fire again A mother must lose a son, Another boy must lose his best friend. The signal was an honest whistle to a woman not of color But since he was a brother This is like first degree murder. After young Emett was finally unrecognizable The table of rage was flipped Right side up because of a child holding death’s cup. People do gain more strength When they have something to fight for Or want more of something they already have And at last work was to be completed done Because one misstep and the group would be terminated Bringing tears to the eyes of God’s Son. So as long as we are on the subject Let’s begin to expose the final suspects. When the time came they were Ready and still are to this today, Maybe not like in the past But different generations don’t act the same way. Maybe it’s because Dr. King jr. is not with us But the fight still goes on Even as I stand here alive In the eyes of those who need to hear Why the group must go on Some may not agree with the way they handle business Or do what they feel But a great deal want to see the action For their own eyes And to their surprise, the group NAACP was their Will they be the destruction of all that is fair? No this is probably one of the craziest assumptions. Because mind-full people turn nothing into something But now it’s vice versa, debt infiltrates the core. What can they accomplish If they have nothing to show for? And when leaders separate their hands From the hands of their followers Then organized confusion dwells in the brain Until they withhold the next campaign for corrupt officials. What happened to the flame given by the signal? Did they forget the civil rights movement Or was it all a hoax, Certainly not because if so then they must’ve already answered To God and our kin – folk. They still need a little guidance From those who knew and experienced pain and distraught first hand. But Man O’ Man there’s still a long way to go We know this because of the time we live in As these people begin to show their faces again Mr. President gave them a small warning to follow Will they decide to make their hearts hollow Or swallow whatever pride they have left in their minds? The smart thing to do is leave behind the evil still caged within And when dissipated then it’ll be safe to begin to proceed to the goal Of becoming spiritually stronger How long it takes all depends on them alone The quicker home is seen the quicker the cycle can turn for the people who yearn for answers and understanding Demanding the group be brought to them With proper handling. Their success mainly comes from involvement in main problems Without that they begin to back track And no one is there to solve them. For what it’s worth the work is very well appreciated The men and women who hated what they stood for now begin To see what has been seen in the eyes of many.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
