Poem titled Oppression by Paradise’s Storm
Oppression
There will always be an oppressor of humans
Take the Bible for instance
God delivered his people from their oppressors
Time and time again
Even though they constantly put God to the test
They were disloyal and faithless
God is the answer to all oppression
The reminder that we will overcome
Any and all oppression
We shall overcome
His will be done
on earth
As it is in heaven
Give us this day Lord
The day we’re not promised
The day I am forever grateful to have a chance to be give
I won’t let you down
I will hold my head up
so the world can see the crown
Kings and Queens we all are
Kings and Queens we shall be
Despite the oppression
The oppression we must defeat
The oppression that lays beneath our feet
Trying to rise
But we are soldiers in this game of life
Rising above the occasion in every situation
Overcoming the oppressors of this nation
Realizing the tricks and tools they use against us
Becoming knowledgeable to the point where they’re completely out of luck
We know the games that are being played
We’re smart enough to play them too
Laughing at the attempts to destroy our youth
Crying to our young that lies victim to the system
Prayers for them to rise
Even if that’s high in the sky after their demise
The man with the black hoody in my dream, what does it mean? Represents kids like Travon Martin killed by the police in a black hoody, men like George Floyd, choked out begging for his dear life. This honestly angers me if I can be honest. I always say I don’t watch slavery movies but that’s because they anger me, I feel like they’re still oppressing me, so much I can barely breathe. I’m holding my breath right now as I type, as I speak.
Justice for Lil Steve !!!
