Not Surprised
I am not surprised
by America's
surprisingly
old development
happening
in new developments
This is the reaction
of what happens
when black
reaches the white house
There's no more
mass exodusse
of neighborhoods
or churches.
There's nowhere
else your hate can go
It will ooze,
and pour out and
devour wherever you go,
We shouldn't be surprised
Having seen the cornering
of this monster
attack for no apparent reason
it has been loose
for centuries
Now, we can finally
start locking
hate away and throwing
away the key,
I will forgive you
If you'd only respect me.
Love and like are too foreign
of an object
You'd touch a thing
that landed here
deep from outer space
before ever reaching
out to touch me.
I am not surprised
how this hate has grown
and consumed
an entire country.
It all began when we
forgot how to
recognize empathy
Your skin was once
the color of mine
I just stood in the light
longer
That fact
shouldn't be a surprise
