It’s dark and painful
My cries disdainful
Loud and piercing
deafening and silencing
They are stuck
Like an old dog who can’t learn new tricks
In a mindset
Only unchanging
Like trapped in a net
Mean and daunting
I am stuck
Like skin to glue
I pull, I jerk, I heave
My efforts futile
I try again
It works only for a short while
The progress I made
Reverts tenfold
Their prejudice and hate
Punches me in the face
They are free
Like a man out of prison
Their hate
buried deeply innate
Calls for attention
As they crave satisfaction
They preach their woes
White’s are more dignified
Males are more superior
Disabilities are fried
Maybe there’s a way
to escape this cage.
With more awareness
or I’ll be a carcass
I hope one day
Equality not disparity
Will be the way
With equal equity
