Mamie
Mamie Till- a fighter and a mother
Sought justice for her son and her people
Cruel discrimination based on colour
Her boy’s life taken, a nation lethal
Mamie, determined to expose the truth
Spoke out publicly sharing her story
An open casket revealing the proof
An act of hatred; relentless, gory
Her courage inspired others on the streets
A growing movement, fight for equal rights
The oppressed rose up, and began to speak
Hundreds of thousands marching in this plight
A woman whose great strength changed history
Her pain, led a nation to unity

on A Graveyard Playground from @Wallyroo92
"As a former refugee of a civil war, every word you've written here is so true. The horrors of war leave a long lasting impact of a child's heart, the trauma becomes carved into the soul. Those who are in power, play the…" -

"Reminiscent of Summers Gone" by @RJ Bear
"renaissance poetry. This is a beautifully crafted piece of writing which conveys strong emotion. The second stanza speaks of a haunting past, darker than what I would have first thought. I liked the reference to the bag…" - March 2026

"I enjoyed the read, though in reference to the final line, I can't see much evidence of a nation in unity. I like the people/lethal rhyme, though both lethal and gory seem rather stuck on for rhyme's sake rather than fl…" -

"When the Night Comes" by @mark
"You have used excellent language and imagery. It's effective that you have left the woman in your poem ambiguous. I can't tell if it's your mother or a lover, even after reading it a couple of times. The last line sways…" -

Just trying to navigate myself through this crazy world. When I have something to say, I like to say it through poetry. Usually when I have something to say, it's because I am p*ssed off with something.
