Sitting Quiet
(A sudden push,
And the chasm engulfed me;
Down, down & down...)

"Where am I?"
The vision --- unclear,
Darker than a dingle,
As if, IT'S FORBIDDEN TO STARE.

"Why can't I move?"
"Are there brass chains?"
Pity me!
They locked me up, again.

"BANG! BOOM! POW!"
"Are those gunshots?"
Not a new story,
Another black life lost.

"KA-CHING!"
Here they play,
Another disapproval,
The RED CROSS in dismay...

The truth so etheral,
But people do avoid,
Look at me; I went to help,
Now I sit in a deep dark void....
