A Symphony of Struggle By Jared Chimezie

Every day the sun burns fierce
Sweat pours like rivers, a relentless pierce
Men's tears fall in huts of scars
Trees stand wounded, like forgotten stars
Men forced to crawl, like babes undone
Trod upon, their voices drowned in the sun

Onions sting the eyes, cries unspoken
Ears deaf to warnings, hearts rocked and broken
Men bear the brunt of seen and unseen hands
Planting tears like peppers in their lands
Clouded minds blame those in white
Mute tongues laud their own desperate fight
Ancestral guilt weighs heavy, sold without remorse
Taught to clash with the divine, a cruel discourse#poetry
