warriors rise

the heart of a warrior beats inside me like gandhi
when society throws all its blackness it has up on me
when being black or a person of color means criminality
despite clinging to words like innocent until proven guilty
words existing only to spite the minority
groups of marginalized made to feel excluded from the authorities
since neutrality is only shown to the rich feeding superiority
instead of hungry mouths or minds of those in society
with the ability to create a better world for us all.
