It will be dealt with, sir
Hey you! Make it aware, black, blue, green
We had the sun in us, too bright to even be seen that it was just another african man's
Dream- let it be seen!
Our hearts, our eyes, our voices and our cries are just about to be buried under the deep and dark stream of lies...
Your land
Your peace
Your freedom, Sir
Although our hearts still lie above the almighty European skies,
We can no longer live with the sorrow preoccupied in our minds,
Nor can we drink from their beautiful lies...
Listen, listen
I sit on the ground danger surrounds me
Roots growing high, and the silence embraces me
Listen,
What if our screams of terror fell to a silence of despair?
What if the tears which were once sweet had the taste of bitterness?
Would you drink from the same dark water we drink from?
Or
Would you leave us to die
in your beautiful stream of lies?...
Your land
Your peace
Your freedom, sir
Hey you!
Listen, and make it aware...
My first poem guys! What do you think? :]

This poem was actually published in a Young writers anthology book. ^.^

I dont really know what to say. Segments I comprehend and find appealing, but I cant quite grasp the whole concept.
