A Stand Poem by Lemuel Giviens

I wonder if life is meant to be
this way, Dreams broken and
shattered without a doubt

Why must things remain this way?
Only judgement will determine
the fight each day,

Control is a big issue and used
to trap many fools,

Try to sand up or speak up
and you only lose

If a spouse is involved they will
make you choose,

Break your spirit and chew you
up like food, down the toilet
it goes like Mississippi Blues

Reporter usually report bad news
to keep you glued to the tube,

Pierce th flesh and watch it bruise
Its time again to rise up and make
a civil move

Living in todays world there are so
many things to prove

So why fight for a country that is
leading us to doom.
