White People Are Crazy
I’m writing this poem because well
White People are crazy
and this is coming from
a white person
a white women
cuz damn
we have got to do better
cuz damn
I am tired of being associated with racist sexist
White people
come on
This isn’t new
And That’s what’s crazy
People are acting like
it’s new
We have been through this before
We have been through this because we caused it
Chinese exclusion act
And Asian hate crimes are only rising with COVID
And as these communities cry out
“Racism is killing us”
And white people just stand up and articulate that they need to go home
Wow
White people.
Damn
How are you capable of causing everybody so much pain.
I have tried my best to shut it down
Tried to shut it out
But
Damn
White people.
Damn
