Poem

I am a black man
Successful, educated, daring 
But still bond by chains 
From the look a likes that aren't me.
No longer is it "The Man" that
Persecute me, it's my own kind.
Dragging me back
Back into time.

The way I dress
Suit and tie
The way I talk
Sophisticated toss the slang
The way I handle business
Punctual all the time.
The way I ride
No glossy rims all black looks clean
On the outside
The way I walk
Head up, shoulders back taking 
Every stride with the most pride.

Jealousy
Envy
Hate
In nearly every eye
I see it through my window as I drive
By.
Not knowing the road I took was
Extensive and intensive.
They look at me with despise
I take it as offensive.
But I keep my head in the books 
My hand on the pencil 
That's why they are where they
Are because they where apprehensive.
Call me sell out
Call me white boy
Call me Uncle Tom
Because when its all said and done
I'm still god's son.
And I'm not stuck in the hood
I'm somewhere on the beach 
Sipping a drink having fun.
