Broken Wing- @writtenbywill - a poem about depression Poem About Being Trapped With Broken Memories, Broken Wings Lost and alone. And they will say One Nation Under God, Nuclear war, acid rain, and the sky turning gray, The daily pounding of violence and urban decay, Babies will be conceived and killed on the same day, Soon they will be infected by mans society, Religious theology, political policy and sly-cology., I can remember her name was Erica a pretty brown skinned girl, She had two children Tinisha and Anthony they were her whole world, But Erica had many secrets she would hold, I would see her often over by the laundry mat, We would just sit back in the shade drink a Pepsi and chat, She would go on about her dreams and how she wanted, A man with money and drove a baby blue Cadillac, How often they forgot she was someones daughter, It was cool with me though I understood her logic, I knew the secrets that she held inside and I knew her story, Leave her at home alone at the age of two, Dropped out of school and said Fuck the lessons!, At the age of thirteen she started laying with, Any fast-talking hustler who would have her, By fifteen she was with this abusive cat that, There was no one around to tell her to leave him, She was too in love with new clothes, cash, Sixteen with a child she didnt know what to do, But Erica saw the world in one color and that color was blue, Five holes in his skull from the blast of a gun, Erica had a child to take care of and another one, And the stresses of being a single mother, And without it she received a slave lashin, Her life was crashin with no hope in sight, To crack cocaine and could barely manage to fight, But Erica only saw the world in one color and that color was blue, That Erica had turned to the oldest profession, What was a one time thing took a progression, So she went and got tested for immune deficiency, She did not believe in the tests accuracy, Erica only saw the world in one color and that color was blue, Erica would lay out on the street and just stare, She begged for money but no one wanted to hear, She was no longer a mother daughter aunt or wife, The cycle was inevitable and was destined to continue, Only saw the world in one color and that color was blue, In the beginning when woman and man were nothing more than in, There was an unreal peace over all the inhabitants of the Earth, And yet God wanted to be loved and cherished, And man to sit alongside each other as caretakers of the Earth, And amidst all the creations of her heart, She placed man and woman above all and gave them free will, But alas, out of mankinds free will came the ability to question, And from the tree of knowledge came the evils of mans heart, Over time man multiplied and no longer saw each other as brothers, But as intruders on land that God created for all creatures, And man did not listen to the one Creator, Now man made their own gods and died for stone, Man died for land that was not theirs to own, And killed over the land that God created, Throughout the land metal swords and iron shields, Brother against brother, clan against clan, and tribe against tribe, Suffering was imposed on those who were weak, And the Earth soaked with red from the blood of man, Over time man developed and created more weapons, From stones and spears, bows and swords, shields and crossbows, Came a black powder and from that powder came muskets, cannons, and rifles, For religion, principle, country and in the name of God conquered nations, And created weapons and machines of mass destruction, And man killed and imprisoned and murdered one another, Only this time the toll of death was like never before seen, The whole world went to war twice in less than forty years, From the rifle came rapid firing rifles developed into machine guns, And from steel and iron came machines never before seen, Jeeps, tanks, and planes missiles and land mines, grenades, It could destroy all of creation by the push of a button, And man developed more and more advanced weapons of mass destruction, Man created missiles that could be fired thousands of miles away.
