Poem
You are not the victim Stop trying to manipulate the situation We are all seeing We are all knowing We are all loving Not you So when we change the narrative And put your hate in the spotlight Don't use our discomfort Our resistance And our need for justice As a way to use your tears To make you the victims But you won't get our sympathy Nor our empathy Your guilt is not our problem You won't one up us And we will call your bluff We have generations of fight in us You should know this We have always had to fight for the right to exist Because of your hatred So excuse us for not buying it We have rights and we will not submit We are not here to coddle your ego And make you the hero When your actually the villain We see right through the bull That you spew To manipulate the narrative to suit you Well you It takes a special type of evil To kill us Enslave us Falsely incarcerated us Exclude us And every horrible thing you did to our ancestors The when we speak up You try to silence us With your tears Don't ever try and tell us how to feel Do Not Say that we are always playing the race card When it was you who did that us So you could own us And yes everything is about race Because you made it about race The foundation of the world is built Off of the enslavement Of us So try and take a hard look in the mirror Because it was never about us Being dangerous Being predators Being aggressive Or being a threat It was about you throwing a tantrum About how we consistently rose from the ashes To take back our freedom You can't stand our intelligence Our resistance Our resilience You can't comprehend That no matter what we will always love our blackness So let us ask you a question Is it because your jealous No matter the answer Your racism disgusts us
