What Can I Do

I think I will write a poem
Rebellion highly populated
Sadly frowned Upon
Many with anger
Violence when Billy Takes A Stand
Billy Aligned with many
Well, ended up disappointed
Spent the night in the can
No one came to save Billy
Billy was given tough love.
The crowd was violent, but not Billy
He acted accordingly
How would you react
Friend unjustly shot
Make believe is all this is
The world can't feel anymore
This poem can't change that
Still like writing it
Better than leaving Billy in the Can
Imagine If it was not your friend
Your whole family
Your whole country
No turning heads
Our enemies tell us straight to our face
"YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT."
Land of the free will never let this slide
So you decide. Isn't that what being free is all about
What can you do
Nothing if you are shackled like
Billie In a Cage
No fight just judgement
No listen just speculation
No worries you did not try
happy and content
Billie is a fool
How long does that last
I just switch sides
Thieves and honor
Good luck and
you all ready turned the head
What will it take to
turn it back the right way
What Can I do
No praying here
Mans free will
Except, still has not shown it
Enslaved others which enslaved himself
Now he is in fear
What can I do
Just stay clear
No more politics
No more schools
No more city
You failed
Primitive is all I can do

Resonates with me perfectly crossbones.
Fear and hopelessness fills the earth and this nation right now.
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Now that is a good poem. I can't write poetry to save my life. Nice job.

Neither can I, Just went with this one. Learning sometimes that is all writing is about. Write something you are not sure about and just see where it takes you. You can always erase it later, all though I really hate doing that so maybe just rewrite it. That is only if I can figure it out.
