Liberty

Love

Hate

Black

White

Agree

Fight

Apparently, the tongue has no bone

So it’s flexible enough to take whichever side

Depending on the taste

And taste will always vary depending on what you like

I like Mondays

They awaken me to the possibility

That I have a whole new week

To go for what I want

I love color blue

It gives me the feeling of calmness and serenity

Looking into the sky

Takes me to a whole new world of endless possibilities

My brother doesn’t like blue

It reminds him of the police

He prefers color green

He refers to it as the zenith of colour

A symbol of life, hope, youthfulness

I don’t like it

Simply because it’s my brother’s favorite colour

And he doesn’t like my favourite colour

And we often get into arguments,

As if I was meant to like everything he likes

And here’s where the problem is

We’re selfish

We only care About what pleases our hearts

Not bothering about anyone we may hurt

We care so much about our tastes

What our tongues have to say

That we forget about the ear

We don’t listen enough

We don’t care enough

You don’t wear Nike

You’ll never know how it feels to walk in my shoes

So just listen

Maybe if we listened more, we’d judge less

And learn and understand and learn to stand

Even with those who share different religious opinions

And geographical locations

Because Liberty is the key to freedom.


I’m a self-motivated writer and spoken word artist. I believe that words have life, so when I perform, it feels like I’m breathing my ideas to life, and it has always been my dream to impact peoples’ lives through poetry.
