I am the tears of my ancestors;
I am the struggle of a people, who became lost in the balance,
I am carrying the burdens of hate and misunderstanding
In the balance of what is right or wrong, I stay, with my eyes on both sides of hate,
I see the posters of truth nailed with the lies of close-mindedness.
I walk in the shadows of big money telling us who side we should be, whether or not we the people should be treated with the fairness that our fore fathers intended.
I ache at the sight of children born into a society that is base on what you are not who you are.
When I speak of love without labels, I become impaled on words of misunderstandings,
Instead of listening to what I am saying, you look between the lines for a deeper meaning to spin into your own agenda. Why can’t I love whom I choose without having to explain why I love at all.
At times, I become disgusted with humanity and at times, I am proud to be human.
I am in the balance.
