The Empty Smithsonian

The Empty Smithsonian
by Shawma

Once filled with hundreds of people each day, it is now a very lonely place
When it was opened before all this started it was like a small booming city
The African American History Museum was visited by people all across the ends of the earth
Every person that entered through those doors were apart of a different culture interested in the history of African Americans
The African American History Museum was not like a normal museum
It takes you through time to see the trials and tribulations of one culture,
To see the struggles and triumphs of a race
The African American History Museum invoked so many emotions in people
That is what the African American History Museum offered
Now the museum sits in its loneliness waiting to reopen
Waiting to educate others
Waiting to be vibrant again
