Create a White Soil, It Is Worth the Toil
I am black, you are white... of course, my blood is red, what colour is yours? I am an African, you are an American, The Sun is my skin, why do you tan? 'I am white, you are black', well said! I have one head, have you got dash head? Oh you are well read, you swim in books, where comest these...

Colors
Of all the things his parents said, He grew to know the truth, Through prejudicial things that lead, To lies about his youth... He always use to see the other, Through another's eyes, Yet somehow he knew that his color, Bled the same inside... Those darker eyes reflected pride, Like never seen before, That even on the blackest night, They hid the moons decore... So he waited...

Last Walk Home
Captain neighborhood watch why the gun you're not a cop? What did he do for you to pursue instead of telling His pop? Treyvon was not very big no matter what he had did, I'm not convinced it makes no sense to why you killed someones kid. The boy was almost at home why didn't...

Forgotten Prince

The last to eat but first to serve, Till hunger loses pace, With a past to me so ill...

What If We Shot Back
What if? What if we started shooting back? An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth! A life for a life! One white for one black! Elder for elder! One youth for one youth! What if we did not want to be targets Anymore? How would that affect you all? Your politics and your money markets Would have both...

Work In Progress
On the outside looking in   A young black male is what you behold. But it's much more than that.  How did I get here? How did I come to be? What where my ancestors like? Truth be told  life was not always so glamourous  for a young black man like myself.  Centuries ago boats pulled upon the shore of Africa to kidnap  The strongest...

when we were colored my eyes daintily danced with laughter under the battered rain sorely i'd gaze beyond the hidden bushes woe when we were colored the sky raised higher it seemed as the clouds opened doors of sunlight just out of my reach why when we were colored i flirted with doubt the senseless notion a funfilled pout hmm when we were colored i'd...
