Poem
Razor sharp tongues unleashed 
Lashing out viciously to openly 
legitimise bigotry 
then suddenly taking offense 
when queried 
releasing long concealed weapons
the deep desire to "remodel Africans"
No intentions of acceptance in sight 
Spitting out venom faster than a viper 
To further the colonisation agenda 
A mouthful of daggers rained down
hard on your bare black back 
Words aimed to leave you deeply
wounded if not maimed 
Blatantly denying the reality of 
your struggle
To boldly label its existence questionable 
dismissing your plight for equality
Belittling the worth you keep raining on
this land
This is a revealing part of the puzzle 
It's the biggest eye opener ever
There's never any regrets on their part 
They mean exactly what they said
And say clearly what they meant 
It's you who owns ears but won't hear
common wealth simply meant 
your wealth commandeered
for their want of power 
They are the true masters of manipulation 
Your ancestors unwittingly handed them your legacy back then
Now your back stays bent backwards to provide them with cheap labour 
A muzzle to your face to shut you up 
Shamelessly claiming your hard earned achievements as theirs for clout
Yet making it near impossible for you 
to achieve anything in this hostile place 
They would siphon your blood out 
if they could find use for it
Use, abuse then discard 
or simply destroy is the order of the day
anyone who is created different from 
their likeness is fair game 
Loot and defile any place at will
no regard for its rightful inhabitants 
Always been their game to play dirty 
still is to this day
They love to see you penniless
on your knees at their mercy 
But you won't listen to reason
You want to be picked for a token
Always eager to sacrifice your kin
for approval and a pat on the head 
They will never truly acknowledge 
your worth as a fellow human  
That report right there, is a living proof 
of the extent of the deeply rooted prejudice in this country 
They expect whoever they see as alien to live off the scraps from their gluttony 
At least in America they acknowledge 
the disparity in their land 
Not this lot over here, not if they can help it
They'd rather latch on to American history for reference 
while turning a blind eye to the fire roaring in their own back garden 
Truth just so happens to be their kryptonite 
they avoid it at any cost and can't help but meddle with it
Go on, speak your truth melanated being!
Remember to also unite with your kin 
in order to prevail 
There is much strength to be found in unity
