Falling Stars
Things not as seemed; too many deferred dreams
Those on t.v. screens, held in high esteem
Deemed King; Team money, fame & love
More so if your hues like a dove's
Knees above backs of necks
Melanin hits the decks
Rejects we are
Dimming our stars
Won't cease
No peace
Scream

Y, is a crooked letter that can never be straightened; best not to ask why !?

Humanity wouldn't have made any progress in any field if the question of why wasn't asked and answers seeked. Silence gets you nowhere. Even newborn babies inherently know that you've got to make noise in order to be heard and served. By the way, Y would be one of the easiest letters to straighten out. You just have to be willing to put in the work.

I love your observational analytical mind, and the optimism you don; it’s speaks of confidence in humanity; which many, have long forgotten that they’re the human, in humanity !
Peace be unto you ~ 💙

Excellent rhyme sir.
Good luck in the comp.

I enjoyed reading this piece of liquid gold I agree wholeheartedly with your statement for if the question of why wasn't asked and answers seeked for remaining silence gets you nowhere those few words speak volumes of knowledge and wisdom of a conscious mind seeking answers to questions of why respect brother poet
