The promise of a new world Lies they tell to keep us in line Easy to control when you abuse people's hope Easy to smile when you have no soul A change in name Is not a change in game Incarceration didn't just happen in a day It was just an evolution of slavery From the scorching hot days on the...

Rage. Fury. A constant burning anger. A rage stemmed from generations of those who have come before me An inheritance we have the right to own Something passed through each black child born One that clings to our skin and bones A communal experience we share alone Every time a black child comes home from school Fallen tears from racial slurs Another wave of...

Rip the sheets of comfort of their privileged bodies Let the cold hit their skin To feel the harsh reality of life Fed with safety and security No longer will they be coddled by warmth Whiteness will not save you Your evil will be put to shame Your secrets pushed into the spotlight Pandering will not be allowed We are tired of...

Do not get carried away with a man testifying about you The fleeting and lying world will dump you soon and leave you cold Hard to explain your loyalty when your eyes are closed Folly game they play, holding to unconfessed sins to do Well, a judgment day will end them anyway One thing is for sure, evil has...

The fakification of modern life Is almost complete As AI and disinformation Crowd out the real and true. If you didn’t see and do it How can you even trust It ever happened Or at least how they say. Like the old Emperor and his new robes But in reverse Now it’s the old calling out the lies While the young just accept the illusion. To the...

Peace brings equality It's why they crave the chaos It makes then feel less empty It makes them feel validated Silence asks too many questions The silence holds the truth The chaos hides lies It's why they start wars As it distracts from accountability A pretence they've kept up for centuries Knowing one wrong move will have their facade crumble The...

They told me I was pretty for a black girl But if that is the case You want me to interpret that as being special That out of every black girl Im the exception To your pre conceived perception To how you view a black woman The only way to take it Is as an insult Black women are beautiful But your attitude isn't And when...

Stripped of dignity A refusal of warmth Forced palatability A black woman's life A spectacle to society Our pain Comedy Silence our only company In a world that chooses to ignore Our words speak with wisdom They choose to echo Educated and intellectual Our voices heed with warning Our weakness our instinct to nurture Despite their instinct to murder We want the world to progress Yet their...

Perfection is a lie told by the white man They say 'the fairer, the better' But with ego comes the self proclaimed Perfection Where what they say goes Where objectivity is something they claimed to own However it just goes to show pride will be their downfall Distracted by vanity and ego And their self distorted reflection They painted in the...

AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE: 2025 As Garvey echoed, Only we can truly Interpret our own True reality:- Thus, let us get to Today’s above-ground Railroading of ourstory Engine-recking the lies Of Klan-hooded history:- Jim Crow based history, Clearly blood-inking The political reality, That America was, And never will be, A haven for the ebony-hued Multi-generations of Juneteenth Heirs like those of you and me: We being infected with mental slavery:- And the maintenance...

There lies a land behind the smoke, Where silence screams and hearts are broke Where lullabies drown in bombs and drones And cradles turn to shattered stones Babies cry with lips so dry No blood, no milk, no tear left to cry No schoolbell rings, no hospital stands, Just bones and ruins buried in the sand They queue for crumbs and bleed...

Why? That's the question. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why do we live in a world that hates change A world clinging to a past long gone Why must hate be so common Why does the world insist evolution is a myth to progression Maybe it's just because they thrive in the tension Maybe because if we cleared the fog of distraction We would see their...

The poems that weep with grief The one that bleeds a sadness unnoticed The ones that grieve the erasure of colour I wish I didn't have to write poems To convince you of our pain The one that stains every word on every page The ones that can't bleed out of existence The ones that break and...

The crops grows from the tears of the enslaved The ground quakes from the harsh sound of the whip Their calloused hands evidence of a life of painful labour Wounds etched their skin A twisted reminder of what happens when you don't comply Their bones crushed under the weight of exhaustion Their eyes burned by the harsh sun Despite...
