Enough is Enough

Avocado

Enough is enough when people shout it

Blacks in prison causes of the injustice

Long ago Blacks and whites were split

Why do we discuss this

 

Life is to short to disrespect others

It is to short to hurt others

We are all different colors

Why is this one of our struggles

 

Some of us never experience it but we have seen and heard it

Why don’t we see the other yelp

We see others about to quit

Why don’t we help

 

Enough is enough when it is told

But we don’t see this

We say this is too old 

What do we miss

 

We should all end this unfairness

And leave it in the past

We can retell this to prepare us

These people never asked

 

Why do we do these things all this stuff?
