Minuteman

Minuteman…

Who really knows us the persons
who are set to be the unknowns
many mystics have claimed to
know but we are of the real

Can anyone hear, have we also
became voiceless articulators

A shout in anger can hit walls even
bring down a host of bingo callers

But still the shout in anguish to
walls that don’t have solidity
may never startle Doves

Society bigots tend to placate us with
morals while we trip guilt and turn
I say F… it we need our own voice
they don’t heed our morals

Desperate I am it hurts, do we
not know values of ourselves

My pride falls by the minutes.

Thanks Rosi, hope you are well. Minutemen were men willing to fight for America's cause during the war of independence. They said they'd be ready in a minute, i sometimes feel like one of them when i think of poverty. If we had just the cause with the correct solutions for the poor and starving i'd follow that cause in a minute. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I have been rather busy lately and have a lot of catching up to do on Neopoet. Love Roscoe...
