As I was seated


As I was seated, They came and grab me The opportunity to be me Why are you claiming to be me While denying me to be me? Leave me as me and get yourself off me If I'm like a devil and a foe on your sight And I bereave you the right to see the light But if you could know that we're of the same soil, You couldn't have separate me from this womb Yeah, our mom's womb, 'Cause, we're one, from one womb I owe you and you owe me; with a single tomb Don't claim if am black and you're white, brown, that you're not part of me We posseses the similar structure with Him Who created us and put us down below Him The diety above us knew it Though the satanism within us grab it From our hearts and damp it The blood we shed when we bleed Depicts the same colour, red, never blue The emotions within us tear and turn black When we forgot our reason of existence And just feel like no one above us due to our negligence The language we speaks can't be our difference If I deny you the right to live I also deny myself the obligation to be alive Cause your blood won't allow me live Are you not sure of who you are? You're Junubi, African, a world citizen, Nuer, Dinka, all tribes in this Nation, universe Is who you really are! Describe yourself in full detail And mark yourself the victim that can derail Yourself from where you can sail Make peace your full description and embrace togetherness Since you're me and I'm you in protest To impact the beauty of calmness Inhumanity within us instill fear To those who stipulate safety in a year So that everyone smile and enjoy life with no tear Let not rectify what God put in place For our own desires and be of no grace That wish to encourage and fuel menace #LET-NOT-ENCOURAGE-INHUMANITY #BUT-PEACE-WITHIN-OURSELVES #AND-BE-THE-LIGHT-TO-THE-REST #PoetryInMe #JoeQuol_Poetry @2020
