Driving, walking, talking, shopping, buying coffee, texting, studying, reading, standing in my yard, listening, laughing, minding my own business. While black.

29 days of poetry. bootstraps

Privilege.

It’s easy to tell someone else to pull themselves up by their bootstraps when you yourself, have inherited your boots

Thank you for reading and supporting march thirty one poetry.

The last to know. A Juneteenth Poem.

Before the day is over… A #Juneteenth poem.

the last to know.

Imagine being free,

and you didn’t know,

Imagine a new life waiting,

and you can’t live it,

Imagine the chains released from your body

but not from your mind,

and Imagine not knowing that you can walk away,

but your feet can’t take the steps…

the end…

we still have a ways to go and work to do
