I wrote this poem to capture my feelings about the event that occurred on October 6th of 2021. The storming of the capitol by terrorists.

JANUARY 6TH 2021

I am not at all surprised, to say the least,

These people act like animals but say we’re beasts,

They live their lives facing no repercussions,

Then turn around and put us in coffins,

What we did was exist in their world,

It’s our fault for the hate that they give,

It is unfair of course and it seems to be,

None of them see wrong, only people like me.

When we do it for a valid cause,

They kill us and exploit the flaws,

When they do it for unjust situations,

They’re just expressing themselves and we should have patience,

Honestly, I am tired of waiting,

We have been treated unjustly for generations,

We fight and fight but it doesn’t end,

It seems we have done all we can,

Still, we fight with all our might so our children do not experience,

The cycle of torture we endure from those who act imperiously.

Black vs. White

Posted by Totiona Long in English 3 · Burrows-Stone · 2s1 on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 12:06 pm

Black people went out on a March it involved Police, death, black women and men. the cause of this was the death of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and so many black people that were killed for absolutely no reason and who left everything behind. White people went up on the capitol like they were some monkeys, but no one really cared. Police officers were there for the show, two deaths only appeared, and a couple of people were charged. The difference between black and white people,e we do something because it feels right, it's going to change something that we truly believe in. White people only do something when they're in the wrong or see what everyone is doing. their wrongdoings do not have a meaning
