My Right

by Tracy D Rollings   May 7, 2007


I try to understand, why we fight for this land
try to build a future and thought I had good plan.

But we have to stop and go at a slower pace
or I'm accused of, invading someones space..

Can't speak unless, you raise your hand
cause people find it, offensive to make a stand.

I stand in my yard and look to the sky
and I pray to the heavens, asking why.

Because we live in a world, where we can't chose
no matter how hard we fight, always seem to lose.
.
But I don't care, what the people try to do
I love my country and I'll always be true.

So if you don't like it, thats my right
I'll say what I want, even if I have to fight.©2007 Tracydr42

    Excellent poem! Sorry for the late reply, I haven't had time to go online in a while. But I think this is real good! I liked the part about raising your hand to say something. It's so true...

    This poem is very emotive and powerful, my only criticism was this line:

    But we have stop and go at a slower pace

    i think you need to add: we have TO stop....

    other than that a moving, vivid piece of work. it seemed to capture your mindset like a photo, well done

    (ps, sorry it took me so long to reply)
