I Gave Blood to be Your Friend

Contributed by dvsnme816 on Friday, 22nd April 2005 @ 09:59:11 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



My blood brings be back to the ancient days of the aztecs,
and the immortal intelligence people thought had vanished,
meeting people that abhore me is sad and eternally inevitable,
just because of my blood people think I have problems phonetical,
my intelligence was earned from countless years of study and practice,
they consider me different because my first language is spanish,
I like the same things everyone else does-why am I still an outcast?,
Im not a plumber or roofer-thats not what we're all about man,
I was born an american but I was often told to become a mechanic,
spilled so much blood and sweat for you-it drips down like molasses,
I did everything humanly posssible to not get treated like an insect,
so how come no matter what I do-theres always some disrespect,
being raised in a city where people say "hello with actuall acknowledgement,
lets me know I am human and trying to be happy as my only prerogative,
in the end-we are all the same-blood is thickest when coagulated,
I am just trying to be the same as you...
with racial emancipation...

Aww Alex I feel ur pain and anguish my dear friend. I don't care what colour, what race, what nationality u r. You're one of the most amazing and most intelligent people I've ever met. You're always number one in my book.
Hugs,
~Sue~

You did a good job. I wrote a poem about the same thing called equality which is based on the persecutions of others. i have a great respect for you and your words.
