Just The Same

By Kiah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Think I’ll just scream until my lungs bleed Sink into this just as much as I need Falling into what I’ve dug for myself Buried in the pit of my own hell Drunken, brawling, kicking and falling Hunkered down through the sprawling And just the just same even though you don’t know my name You see we not alone in our fight You, she & he know what is right Misters & Mrs. the pieces aren’t fitting So it’s time to get up and start winning Think I’m just gonna step off into a sunset Pink, orange, & red have not come yet But I know the new day is dawning So keep your eyes open to what is coming Because the revolution will not be televised The revolution is here right before your eyes Just the same it’s that plain And still you don’t know my name I am not alone in my contempt You and I we are not exempt Don’t take it the way they give it It’s my life and I’m gonna live it Written November 14th, 2001 © on Nov 14 2001 10:24 AM PST   18 • 0 • 9
