I Complain Because

I complain Because I am in pain I see too much killing Too much lynching Too many killings Of my innocent siblings Too many hangings Near the rusted rings. I complain Because of so much chagrin I cannot take it anymore I am going to break the main door To defend my brothers and sisters Who are resting on the steel stairs Darn! Leave them alone I am recording you with my phone. Copyright © June 2020, Hébert Logerie, all rights reserved. Hébert Logerie is the author of several collections of poems.
