Nolan Wells

 Nolan Wells

If I were his mom 

I’d go over to his friends’ houses 

And beat the shit out of them 

Them white boys 

And the white girl

Cos what do you mean 

He was left?

What do you mean 

White boys left him on an island?

I’d fuck their parents up, too…

Nolan Wells

Had been missin 

He was with his friends 

Durin July 4th…

They were all on a boat 

He was the black guy 

In the group…

Does this sound familiar?

Tamla Horsford?

Sleepover?

Somethin eerie 

About it

Right?

A mystery 

It may not be solved 

Cos of white privilege

But consequences 

Has a way of stalkin 

Like shadows….

Murder could be a secret 

Though we know what 

Racist white kids did…

They carried his cell phone 

Yet he wasn’t with them….

Now Nolan 

Is hauntin them in their sleep 

In their thoughts, in their emotions 

In their zipped mouths…

White boys 

White girl 

Did somethin 

And his mama 

Mrs. Wells

Is wailin out to her son 

Cos 

Dumb ass teens

Yes I said dumb ass 

Better yet 

How about heartless 

Motherfuckers killed 

Her son….

And this is why I said 

Black people 

Should fight back 

Cos of these types of bull shit….

You can’t trust white people 

All the time 

Or not at all….

They would do 

These incidents that kill 

Black people out of hate, 

Out of jealousy…

It’s like microaggressions to 

The highest level….

And white people

Won’t admit 

They will lie

Sometimes they will use their 

White tears to apologize 

When they ain’t really sorry….

Nolan is a ghost

He roams around in 

His ex friends’ spaces 

With angry eyes….

Will they confess on their 

Deathbed when they get real ancient?

Or will they hold their secret to 

The grave?

Oh the guilt 

Its eatin up inside….

They may get away 

With murder 

However they will never be 

Happy….cos deep down 

The memory of their wrongdoin

Of their killin 

Will never leave them alone 

When they have smiles in the future 

There’s hollowness 

In their regrets 

In their long faces…

I bet they don’t care….

They could live their best lives 

But Nolan Wells will be center of 

Their minds….left and right….

I hope 

His mama won’t forgive them 

They don’t deserve it…

They killed him…💔😢💯✊🏿©️Kai C. 7-6-26

Three black kids 

Bowin down to a cross

Closed hands 

A prayer…

A white Jesus 

On a small letter t 

And I can say 

This is beginnin 

Where the lack of self of 

Knowledge comes through 

Melanated households 

Where the condition continues….

You 

Taught 

Your kids how to worship 

A white man….

Cos your parents passed down the 

Idea and their parents did the same thing….

Not knowin 

This is so anti black….

You created white supremacy 

Of your own in your home….

Don’t say it’s not about color…

It does….

You show and tell 

Your babies 

That Europeans are the bosses 

Of the world…

And they have to be twice as good as 

Them…..

You placed that 

Image into their small intelligent brains

And they learned backwardness real quick…

They will always think white folks are 

Superiority cos it’s all you know….

You fed them lies 

You filled their hearts with self hate 

They go out there in the world kissin 

Every white man’s ass….

Yet three black babies 

On their knees 

Prayin to the devil….

On a cross….

They know all about Jesus 

But not Malcolm X….

Think 

And sit with it for a 

While….

Black children chose a white god 

Over Patrice Lumumba….

They chose a blue eyed demon 

Over a black man who fought for freedom….

Do you know 

White Jesus is make believe?

You can’t tell me 

He’s real 

Can’t tell me 

Skin color isn’t that serious 

When you realize the observation 

Of ignorance you’ve been stayin 

The whole time….

You don’t read books 

About how colonizers use religion 

To conquer….

To brainwash people to hate melanin 

So deeply to the core…..

You tell others 

I’m not tryin to hear that 

You learned to ignore the facts 

And sink into good feelings….

You’re teachin your babies 

As that….

White people see color…

While black people teaches their kids 

A colorblind society 

Even though 

The world sees black…..

The world wants black 

The world envies black…

You don’t know that 

White people are jealous of our blackness…

It turns to obsession and hate…..

And the image 

You see 

A white Jesus 

In your mind 

Livin rent free 

Not see that at all….

You don’t believe that,

You’re not woke….

You still sink 

Whiteness into 

Your babies 

And what if one of them 

Has a question about 

Why is Jesus white?

Would you be upset?

Would you be uncomfortable?

What would you say?
