"I Hear Voices" (Poem)
|
Posted By: Kyle Shedrick on July 04, 2005 FEATURED Content I hope you don't think I crazy after I tell You this, after I tell you I hear voices. All the time I hear them, I try to ignore Them but they're too strong. Piercing through My ears, through my heart, and into my soul—I hear them. I hear voices of women made punching bags for their husbands Embracing every blow, fearing to say anything to anybody because If they do, the next blow might be fatal. I hear voices of men and women living on the streets Because they have no one to turn to and nowhere to go; Asking for money saying they need it for food. Unfortunately, It's the food that's taken in with a needle, through the nose, or even Inhaled. I hear voices of children from third world countries begging—crying— Dying for food. I see telethons on television raising money for them, but I have yet to see a telethon raise money for our children here; living in cars And cardboard boxes, begging—crying—dying for food. I hear voices of young women receiving a gift but regret receiving the Gift so soon; and I hear the voice of the father denying his very role in it. I hear voices of people like me and you who didn't heed the warnings Of the sixty-three percent and now Death will be knocking at their Door a lot sooner than they expected. And I hear voices of those who paved our way so long ago, mourning and crying An agonizing cry because it seems like the very thing they fought, bled, and Died for was for nothing. Constantly, I hear these voices—make them stop—make them stop, please Somebody—make them stop. If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |
