White-Crested Sea
By Essie Martin
I am the sea, the furl of a singleSail, alone, the wave who crests in white salt,
At the gyre’s spinning, nodular edge-Taking me down down in brackish assault.
Hashtag, “Black lives matter.”
Trending, but then what?
Hashtag, “All lives matter.”
Seems pretty okay, but…
I find it quite ironic
If this world can see what I can see
I would change the way we seen the world not as what it is ,but what it could be.
If this world can see what I can see
If I had only one choice
One decision to make
That could change everyone’s way of life.
A choice that would not only defy fate,
People don't see and don't understand how it used to be
God gave us life and he can take it away easily
People should come together in harmony
No more wars
No more fights
No more innocent blood spread over us
