Hi peeps. I need to write a poem about the 1920s and the hardships faced so this is it. Can I get so CC?
They covered their skin in white
As if they were afraid
Of looking to much like us
Like it was a disgrace
Maybe it was
To them
From my bedroom window
You could see the park
The park where crosses burned
In sparks of red and orange
And you could hear their chants
Forcing their way into my dreams
Leaving traces of dirt
And ash
Through my head
Until it was me
They were burning
Not the cross
And in the morning
I would sprint to school
To afraid
To check over my shoulder
For white masks
And white robes
Or for my white neighbor
Or my barber
Because you never knew
What cloaks
Were hidden in their closets
If this is what they believed
Why did they hide their faces?
Blood fueled the fire they set on their crosses
Screams fueled their chants
And fear fueled their movement
But it pushed me harder
So I slept at night
And ran to school
And locked the doors
The windows
So I couldn't smell the smoke
The blood
And I survive another day
