Marvin Shepherd poetry

** I Am Black….Or am I? **


 * Race shouldn’t define anyone… **
 * We should all be together having fun.. **
 * Color only goes skin deep… **
 * Only if everyone could make that leap.. **
 * Discrimination is just a part of everyday… **
 * It goes the same way even if you’re gay.. **
 * In today’s society things are just mixed… **
 * One day everything will be fixed.. **
 * People will just be people, that’s the way it is… **
 * Believing what they want till they die.. **
 * Seeing things different then I do in my eye… **
 * Everyone just needs to stop the hate.. **
 * Before it gets to late. **

** I Am A Degenerate  **
 * Being a degenerate can be hard **
 * People sometimes look at me like I need a guard **
 * People often judge just because of looks **
 * They should probably be in formed and read a book **
 * Just because im me doesn’t mean ill be bad **
 * Even thought sometimes I get really mad **
 * People like to think all we do is smoke and drink **
 * Those ideas need to shrink **
 * Just because of my genes doesn’t mean I will kill **
 * We live in the same world, just trying to pay bills **
 * Everyone needs to stop all the hate **
 * And just leave things up to fate **
 * Being discriminated against can be hard **
 * We should open our heart and not keep it so jarred **
