Message To The Blackman

...If slavery was a choice, as some have agreed, then what are we?
If watching your father and mother endure rape or murder was a choice,

Sun at their backs burning heavy, bright
As silhouette turns to figure,
A striking image displaying only death

Exclaiming commands for change
They are a barber on the side

Holding shears made of fire

Resting on branch, above this ground,
A pond of water, I see from perch,

shimmering golden
