Now Poem by George Shadrack Kamanda

Now



Unending scandals,
growing rampant
Everyday,
With a plausible solution far away
we are tangled—and in trouble
Apparently,
Our humanity
is now in shambles
Drowning in an Uneven tide
the punctures in our souls are growing wide
Now,
lost in our man-made abode
As our reality
continue to be trampled on
Now,
Overtly now, our sanity
Is regressively moving on.
And to crown it all,
Our identity is now gamble on
In a society made for all.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is a heartfelt response to the brutal and continued killings of African-Americans and other minorities in the United States. As I write the first draft, I was gutted about the continued and massive incarceration of my people in a country of great freedom and rights. #Let our voices be the change #Let our pain make the way...... #'Our identity is now gamble on in a society made for all.'
