Don’t tell me what to write…

 Don’t tell me what to write 

Don’t tell me what to write….

Sir…

Ma’am….

Don’t ever ever tell me what to write 

Especially to a black poet….

Why would you wanna tell a black poet 

To change a subject?

Cos he or she talks about racism way too much….

Is black power makin you feel uncomfortable?

Does it trigger you?

Cos you have no business tellin anybody 

To write somethin different 

Even if you know me or not….

Let me make a choice on my own terms….

You’re just a reader…

Another user who passes by….

Don’t tell me what to write…

You should have scroll 

You should upload the page…

You should have block my posts 

Do somethin…

Like what’s wrong with you?

 Black poets have many topics to write about…

They could write whatever the fuck they want…

You think I’m obsessed 

You think racism is the only thing I write about….

Honey, racism is in our faces all the time….

My observations are my inspiration….

I take poetic notes….

Racism is the problem 

I study the issue like homework….

What are you doin? 

Since you’re feelin my black poetry a certain way….

I do have the righteous anger

But do I hate people?

No i judge the terrorism on the planet….

Don’t ever tell me what to write…

Cos black history inspires me

Black people inspire me

Our slave mentality got me thinkin…

Got me curious…

Are you a writer?

Are you a bot?

Are you tryin to get rid of my page?

Cos I write pan Africanism…

Or you don’t like the mirror I place in front of your eyes…

Cos who told you to tell me 

I should write something else….

Do you know me?

I don’t think so….

You don’t know me 

I’m a stranger….

Why are you tellin an unknown person to branch out 

In poetry? 

Do you do that to the other writers?

I’m not alone….

Don’t tell me what to write 

Don’t you ever tell me?

My writin is my freedom 

My words are my pride…

I did somethin to you 

I made you feel…

I made you feel the need to tell me 

To change the subject….

Cos your discomfort is in your space…

But hey I could be wrong…

I don’t know….

Just don’t tell me as a black poetess 

To turn racism into somethin

Just cos you don’t like the kind of power 

I have when it comes to black people….

When it comes to lovin my people a lot 

No matter what…

Don’t beat a white person

 Don’t Beat a white person 

We’re playin 

Scrabble 

And I won….

This white man 

Got upset 

Cos I won

Fair and square…

He talked trash 

Cos he was mad….

It didn’t occur to 

Me at the time when white people

Should be winnin at all times 

Even if they lose 

They will always win a championship 

That’s how the system works…

Now when a black person 

Wins, it’s time to change the rules…

A black person can never win…

Only a white person….

You see that in sports…

I saw a video of 

Chris rock sayin 

His dad told him 

You can’t beat a white man 

Or a white person

And if you do,

Judges said white player won

He lost…….

They’re sayin

Black people should be losers 

At all times 

Even when they outsmarted the oppressors

They won without cheatin…

Remember to the society, 

Black people are not supposed to be intelligent?

They’re supposed to be slow

Well, black excellence is too real they can’t handle…

And this is why I posted 

White supremacy is a jealous system….

They’re jealous of how we move 

Of how we use our brains….

I thought about 

That white man 

He was a competitor 

And he was upset 

That I beat him….

Maybe it wasn’t about 

Race at the moment 

When we played scrabble….

But I played my tiles right….

Maybe 

He has never lost to a 

Black woman before….

I can’t say….

I think back to the day 

Way before covid…

I felt like he made a competition 

Big deal…his pride was hurt…

Cos come to think of it, 

Whiteness taught him 

That white people should always win

Cos of their “superiority complex”

That’s how I see 

It….

And the video reminds me 

Of him…..

And he was jealous….

Cos he doesn’t like to lose….

Especially to lose to a black woman…

And he did apologized 

And I forgave him 

For talkin trash…

He never called me slurs…

He doesn’t like losin

Maybe I put too much 

Of my opinion into it 

Or maybe it’s the flashback 

That got me critical thinkin….

I’m not sayin 

Don’t beat a white person

I will say observe 

Recognize the envy

Study how racism favors white people…

It does happen in games and sports….
