iam slave

I am a slave with no knowledge of the system.
I am man with a vision and spirit.
I am light,
I am dark.
I am a slave that can't cross the road without being judged by the color of the skin.
But want to be judge by contents of the character.
I am black,
I am green
I am the truth that stands and fights brewed the freedom fight.
I am the ghetto.
I am an African sold as a slave to the states.
I am the dream that started the revolution.
I am warrior that Inspire the moment of victory
I am a slave forever.
I stand for my nation.
I am the story teller that told the story of the civil war.
I am the blues singer who can make the music come alive.
I am the heart of Africa that influences change.
I am an honest and strong
young man that can't take the system anymore.
I am the next vision that can unite all nations.
I am a citizen to journey to the end of the world.
I am black and white that speak the truth.
I am a slave that doesn’t want to be savages from society
I am a slave to the system that is full with war and pain.
I am the next to see genocide of Africans being killed.
I am a slave that cries tears for freedom.
I am a slave that cries for change for the youth of today.
I am Dr. King
I stand and speak about this dream about freedom and equality for all men.
I am a slave that can accomplish whatever he puts his mind to.
I am a freedom writer who writes about the violence and the injustice of police and gang violence.
I am a slave who tries to uplift himself from savages and hate.
I am a slave who understands the way of the street.
I am a slave to be profiled in the system.
I AM A SLAVE!

I like this one too. Its deep and has a powerful message. Some of your wording needs alittle work but not much. I'm alittle knitpicky about proper grammer usage. I was a english major at one time so I'm sorry. But I like i this one. I get judged not because of the color of my skin but because of chosen hobbies and because I'm only 5'2" tall.I'm short and get picked on for it, but I have a short temper as well. Dynamite comes in small packages and all different colored packages as well.
