My labored history,
Shamefully supplied economic expansion for white abundance
My black body is America’s citizenry encumbrance
Your eyes turn the corner at the declaration of your blood-stained wealth
Camouflaged the past to absolve it from the abnormal conditions of the Commonwealth
Constructing me out of sequences from unread history
Paralyzing the misinformed in the deformity of conformity
This lack of knowledge of my human heart
Reduces us to unequal characters and not counterparts
The packaging of your history are sold on shelves
This demand is supplied with white sales of yourselves
You cloak me in anger to defend your fragility
Mass-produced the slogan ‘Angry Black Women’ because you feared my fertility
Media covers you in black dresses of elegance
And, Black women wear black skin draped in irrelevance
You gloss over my humanity with chapped notions of superiority
The scarcity of self creates fictional characters of inferiority
Chest puffed out, wearing your moral code of non-racist
This is not enough given the historical traces
Activate your morality against the establishment
Make it clear racism is in need of banishment
Take my out-stretched hand
Let’s band, stand and demand freedom for me in this land
Dueling oppressive norms,
Recruiting disinterested and uninterested to fight fairness for us all
Your interest in my freedom is fundamental to break down the walls.
Please read my other written work.
I adore you for reading my writing,
