Yes black history makes me mad

 Yes 

Black history makes me mad 

But at the same time I crave 

For more….it’s nothin wrong 

With that…my anger is accurate….

I wanna learn 

and then be able to teach 

Others through my poems….

I wanna encourage them 

To read, to do your own 

Research before 

Our stories get wiped out…..

Racism is doin it right now….

They’re whitenin our melaninated past 

Off the grounds….that way 

White folks won’t feel guilty….

They never want our power….

Though 

They’re losin theirs…

Cos of extinction 

Of birth rates decline 

and don’t let me forget 

White people has been the 

Real minority the entire time….

You see,

This part plays a 

Role in this black history 

Cos they have that eugenics 

Plan….they wanna get rid of 

Us cos we’re too crowded….

You know genocide..

Their genetic survival….

I k know 

Black history is 

Sad, it brings out the 

Madness in us

However 

There’s a positive side 

Too, when we look at 

Ourselves beyond 

Trauma and self destruct,

We’ve been innovative 

We’ve been a helpin hand 

We’ve been the rhythm and blues 

Most of all, we’re the original humans 

Walkin around the world, real life artifacts 

Breathin air….

The trees knew 

The plants knew

The whole sky knew…..

And it’s why 

White folks 

And other races wanna snatch 

Our thrones….

Knowledge of self is important 

It’s why I wanna help black people

Through poetry 

As a way of healin

Even if they don’t wanna read 

Or hear me out 

Or think I’m makin profits of our black pain..

Cos 

I want to…..

I wanna try to answer the questions 

We asked….

And I love being black……

I see our heartache 

I may not have all the experiences 

But I advocate us 

Our blackness 

Our voice….

Our humanness….

We ain’t three fifths a human 

Ok? 

To me, 

Our children 

The races that came from us

Are actually disrespectin 

Us, the parents 

We gave birth to humanity 

and the human race….

And white supremacy 

Is mad disrespect 

Big time disrespect….
