Cosmic Light Poetry: Universe United or Universe Divided

Writer's picture: Yvette Martin-BrowneYvette Martin-Browne

We rise, we fall, we rise, we fall.  

That is what revolution is.  

We sit and deny the truth, because of class, race, cultural beliefs, color of one’s skin, and sex.   


Cosmic Light Poetry: Universe United or Universe Divided

 


Live a lie, you know. Lies upon lies. 

Lies about us, we lie to ourselves, to each other, to our children. 

Mothers, screams, while fathers weep, children where are you? Nowhere to be found. 

The great mothers cries, while her animal dies. 

We hate, we fight, but no one weeps for the suffering. 

Class, race, color, culture.  

Injustice. 

We scream at each other, scream at ourselves, but no one is listening to those that are suffering.  

We say unite but then we stab each other in the backs.  

Divide and conquer, ignorance is bliss, you know? 

Can’t handle the truth, even though the truths have always been there but ignorance is bliss. 



We cry, but no one weeps.  

Injustice! 

You fight for a country or against another country, but no one hears the weeping of the suffering. 

Class, race, color, culture that’s all anyone really sees.  

Not human beings, no never human beings. 

Where did human beings go? 

Class, race, color, culture that is all one sees.
