Poem Title:
Poem
A threat of superiority Leads to inferiority Of a heart consumed By a venomous poison Of hate lead by jealousy A darkness claim their soul Convinced that an enemy Was those loved by the sun With skin oh so golden Threatened by a culture To which they steal like vultures Begging to be chosen Colonising a moment Belonging to those with a darker skin colour All we wanted was equality All you wanted was authority Lands built on lies Where black met demise Under grey and cloudy skies And buried secrets forced to hide Hidden under the cloak of defence used As your disguise Blaming the victim of a crime you committed Just to satisfy the deep pits of your stomach A place where guilt resides Melting in the acidity of your pride Insecurities infect your eyes Leaving you blind Of your little white lies To claim that being white Correlated to being the superior race To capitalise off of ignorant minds Of an acceptance they yearned to find Power a secret weapon Abused by those who wield it But the real truth is black lives Are kryptonite to their ego How their only achievement was culture stolen How our presence engulfed them How their need for attention to grow their ego To distract them from a body so hollow To stop from the voices that echo Inferiority wrapped in sorrow The smiles they keep a deceiving show From a pain that refuses to go When revenge is fueled by a crime not commited One must question ones motivation Ones intention with all this hatred To a race that's only crime was being black Punished With a lifetime of psychological torment The fear of existing Targeted by the envy of those whose livelihood was based on colonisation And culture is based on controlled violence to achieve black silence
