Nascent Poetic Tribute To Black History Month

Nascent poetic tribute to black history month... crafted before onset when people of color got acknowledged for twenty eight or nine days depending if leap year occurred. Though I yam Caucasian, rightful to honor most bitter racist genocidal crime, nonetheless ovation qua one non WASPish critter buzzfeeds kickstarts poetic hitter, viz quintessential significant contribution vis a vis rubbish that doth litter just pass over after me death as posthumous Jew pitter, patter one among anonymous wordsmith (linkedin to Ashkenazi) multitudinous Semitic peoples. Many unknown dark skinned souls cruelly abducted, enslaved, lynched... wrenched, yanked, and zipped out heart of darkness within pristine jungles of Africa bravely fought as non quitter with ebony melanin to coon sitter, this asthma feeble attempt made as thoughtful, rueful, mindful literate read courtesy sibling, parent, guardian or baby sitter reasonable rhyme aye adorn rhythmically snapchat, tweet and twitter. *****Sapiens with Negroid color who, despite being human bondage managed to illuminate, embellish, adorn worthy contributions to society, though me Asian garden variety American (though not so proud), and civilization since time immemorial hence, I wanna pay poetic homage to persons gifted with melanin born akin to diversity exemplifying gamut analogous to Indian corn debased brutally and forlorn no matter raised in cornucopia horn of plenty with rare serf tenderness whipped by wicked task masters from the crack of morn, aye cannot fathom why a great proportion of humanity must struggle on scraps of subsistence while yours truly with sixty plus shades of Caucasian pigment, albeit servile shamefully linked heritage viz precarious, opprobrious, nefarious,... Matthew Scott Harris sworn vengeance against those perpetrators whereat cultures, histories, languages... eradicated courtesy genocide, nevertheless heroic efforts witnessed Underground Railroad where a minority escaped, being branded, manacled, tortured, et cetera history as slaves an existence until...pacified family dislocated sans rent asunder, ripped and torn. Once a proud family akin to Brady bunch, now brutally, nasty and short lived poorly destitute (case in point) like Haiti - once a nation extant with cultural finery insidiously raped "Lady" lacerated odiously robbing unique peoples as owners didst slay practically naked "Primates" encaged like wild animals in zoos culturally robbed while abhorrently marched in ones and twos shredded souls without shoes (analogous to persecuted Jews) of singular ambition to break shackles though tightly fused to life as they chose. The above smattering examples of many peoples UNFAIRLY subjected to subservience and exempt from enjoying the fruits of their labor. January twelfth two thousand and ten (original date this communique writ then kept wedged where in no wise bore visual witness vis a vis near annihilation and destruction of African, Haitian, South American, et cetera nations whereby countless/ nameless individuals e’en the strongest Herculean type men crushed by humungous slabs of building facades practically demolishing every creation since this island and/or sundry other nation settled, which indigenous tribes sought safety in any geologic den seeking solace and salvation from wrath of nature by paying obeisance via oblation perhaps giving credence to clear water in tandem with rooster and hen that laid a golden egg and chicken thing, especially encroaching, jumpstarting, outsourcing once noble savages affected violation particularly when Europeans foisted forfeiture of land with primitive implement like pen no matter that travesty, trickery, mockery, et cetera wrought humiliation pleading invaders to forsake such actions that rent asunder culture beseeched god when these depraved brutish, nasty and (shortish) Hobbesian simians wantonly increased desecration. The peoples of this dominion rose from the ashes like the phoenix like bird no mattered genetic pool underwent white washing from scouring influx from western thumping proselytizers, which alien beliefs hard to swallow like curd basically bribery (with lustrous trinkets) ah those coveted legal tender. Upon emancipation proclamation cessation to sell men, women and for x amount of bucks akin to the soundcloud winged fowl clucks foisted/ forced the unpleasant alternative (wanton slaughter) to be clearly heard, yet within the very fiber of tropical mangrove persons patiently lined up their ducks and declared as one of the first semi sucks esse full African American peoples INDEPENDENCE to be the word, whence adulation, elation, inspiration echoing across ramshackle greensward.
