It
was just a letter
Meant
to make things better
The
scab of the matter
Turned
malevolent later
A
letter. Just a silent page
Canvassing
emotions of rage
So
silent like a lion in a cage
At
some stage
Many
it can offstage
“Dear
My Front men
Why
you want us now to say Amen
Man,
we are all men
Leave
us, I say with this pen”
He
never wrote back
He
just sent his boys to crack
a
whip on them like whack!!
And
to them to go back…..
This
is a product of a pen
Ink
on paper in black and white
Why
then are others red and bruised
Which
school did they go to?
In
my school, the pen
Punishes
more than the gun
Of
a gun you die with no trace
By
a pen your fate is traced back to history
It
was a simple letter
That
tore his shirt
It
was a simple letter
That
sent him packing
It
was just a piece of paper
That
gave him so much pain
The
letter…
Just
like the ballot...
Proves
too weak…
To
change a system
May
be a bullet
Posted
in a gun
Is
a better package
To
deliver a revolutionary massage.
Please
don’t write me a letter
