In fear
In fear
In cowardness
What if I stop writin
My black poems altogether?
What if someone tells me to drop
My pen?
What will happen?
I might not write for black people
Anymore…
Might be the one who strongly encourages
Me to write we’re one human race
Kind of poems…
I won’t be allowed to be pro black
Cos possibly
My books will get banned…
I’m not a famous author…
I’m just a poetess
Who writes things….
Things that matter
People matter
Oh black people matter, too
Don’t forget that….
I’m not tryin to be hard
I’m honest….
I have scenarios
I have inspirations
I have gone too far with
My black poems….
And I got a few readers who enjoy
Them…. I love givin facts in
Metaphors, and I won’t be too tired…..
Yet if I were a famous writer
All over the world
With these black poems
It’s possible that I get banned
At a school library
Or a bookstore refuse to sell
Possibility that my website might be
Taken down
Cos all this black power
All this truth….
Who knows….
There are some black people
who snitch out of fear
They would be too quiet
Thinkin I said enough
Maybe i shouldn’t be too dangerous
I got death threats…..
They would speak their apologies
To white supremacy….
In fear
It’s a syndrome
A trauma response….
I can say
We shouldn’t be afraid of
White folks
We should defend ourselves
And not feel ashamed about it…
That’s how we break a cycle
I think
Being scared of white people
And their system is a generational curse….
I think we have this habit of
Tellin our people not to get so bold
Towards them….
I have talked about fear in my other
Pieces…it could be a scar to our brains
And our hearts…it weakens our strength
Our unity…black peoples let all the energy into
A white man so much…it’s the truth….
I don’t like to admit it..some still believe in their
Hearts that a white man is still superior….
What makes it more scarier,
There are other black people who are actin like
A white man who treats their race like garbage….
And in fear,
We never know they might act like
KKK runnin in the streets….
And I’m just writin what I called it….
