Invisible Bloodbath: Tulsa Race Massacre
The story of a harrowing tragedy,
A race carnage of terror and atrocity.
A district that teemed with pride and achievement,
But a place of hatred for white supremacists.
With the terror and fear of those dark days,
The lives of hundreds were taken away.
When the bloodbath began to unravel and unfold,
It delivered black Tulsans actions so cold-blooded.
The cataclysm of what was done,
People’s rights taken, Greenwood, undone.
The tragedy and horror that filled the air,
The traumatized lives that none can repair.
The flames engulfed the businesses and residences,
Bringing death and demolition from all angles.
The Tulsa Race Massacre, a mephistophelian reminder,
That injustice and racism are permanent and can enter.
Even though the confirmed death count is 39,
Investigations say a total of 150-300 died.
The KKK ensured the event was left to be forgotten,
So many people don’t know about the mass execution.
We should bring awareness to Tulsa Race victims,
Like the slaying of black doctor A.C. Jackson.
And never racially profile those innocents,
Like the arrest and trial of Diamond Dick Rowland.
