Poem
Blaming the white men Is the idea, the insane ideas That many of you have in your eyes In your head and in your brain. You’re scared of the truth You’re playing the ugly lute The sad refrain that you ought to forget To exterminate and to obliterate FYI, the white men are in extreme debt They’re complaining, moaning and blaming The world too, for the constant criminating. The truth hurts: blame yourselves now And quit blaming the pusillanimous white men Who face discrimination on different scales Or levels. I ain’t trying to invent new tales Stop looking for excuses. Tomorrow Belongs to everyone, for all men Women and children. Repel the obvious mentality of blaming others And roll up your long sleeves to fight the right battles Be nobody’s little men and women. Change saddles If the old ones no longer fit. Don’t use too many powders Show your true original face, because your color is beautiful You, too, can be amazing, scientific and wonderful. Use your god-given or divine intelligence to be better Stop blaming others and using fake excuses Remove the white men from the core, from the center Of your existence. Break and cut-out the chains, build bridges Talk to and understand more people who don’t resemble you Expand, grow-up and stretch beyond comprehension too. Be responsible. Be different. Be controversial in good ways Be like the sun which goes beyond the orbits, beyond its rays You need permission from nobody to love yourselves and others All human lives always matter! Emancipation matters! Copyright © November 2022, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
