Great writers tell the world about the injustices they see. And so do our READers! Thanks to Joshua P. who sent in this poem about the justice he wishes to see in this world.
Strong, Independent, Wise
I am strong, independent, & wise
But what are you?
You can't see what's beneath my eyes
So why judge me because of my skin
I may look different on the outside
But I'm the same as everyone on the inside
Because I'm strong independent & wise
Your negative remarks are all I hear
When I walk by try saying "Hi"
Deep thoughts, keeping your head up
No matter what they say son
Just remember that you're strong, independent, & wise
Life is full of trouble & anger
But you manage to keep yourself out of
You just simply keep on walking ignoring the problems
Why sink so low to the ocean floor
But as you can see between you & me who the
Bigger person is put yourself in someone else's
Shoes switch the parts and see how you would feel
If you got constantly picked on but just remember one
Thing that I'm strong, independent, & wise.
