Fear

Behind my brows are horror scenes Each blink am drifted in oblivion deep In the fear archives within my genes As cold trepidations in my heart creep Beaming vivid horror acts of slavery. Behind my brows I hear black souls Wailing desperately in quandary state Mothers nurse their toddler's sores The custodians of the future's fate Heavy load their tender shoulders bear. Behind my brows I see dark images Frantically wobbling under heavy wood Whip driven further from their villages Chained animals they're misunderstood In the worst humanity servitude Behind my brows fear hatchet it bears Hides in wait to murder my black ego Maybe I'm the off spring the feeble sires? Or am the pious to white man's credo Too scared in inferiority complex. Behind my brows a distant flame glows The rich jungle in between is my fear Who will extinguish it when it's close? Who will solicit loud that all can hear? Who will unhinge the mind shackles bear?
