Black Presence

 Black presence 


Black presence 

is there 

That means we’re 

Already been around 

It’s just that we’ve 

Been ignored…..

People of the other races

Has ignored their 

Parents for decades 

For centuries 

For years 

Cos of bloodlines 

Cos of government eraser

Cos of we remove ourselves from the 

Distance…

Racism has taught us to 

Hate black…. We were told 

Black is not good…..

It was a lie….


The truth is

melanin gets richer from the sun 

And how our bodies illuminates 

Like gold….

We’re beautiful 

Look at our hair 

So curly…skin so poppin 

Eyes noses 

They’re perfection 

We’re wise

We’re on beat

We sing

We know how to cook

Filled with warm…

We create art, 

We speak poetry 

We invented music….


So tell me 

Why do you wanna erase us

When other races have envied us the whole time?

If we don’t do what they say 

They fight us…

So you wanna disrespect your parents?

Think about it?

Cos all the people of different backgrounds 

Came from us….


Black people….


I’m talkin to you, too

White folks 

Don’t ever think your white privilege

Exempt y’all…

Be uncomfortable 

For once in your life 


Black presence 

Has always been around 

And well hidden 

Extremely ignored 

When it’s in your dna 

All up in your genes….


The funniest part is 

When everybody on this earth 

Can’t get us out of their minds…

Literally we pay rent free on their brains 

Not the houses we live in…

Ain’t that somethin?

Y’all love us 

But hate us 


Cos y’all 

Wanna 

Be like us 

Like 

We’re the standard

On this planet 

We make everythin spicy

And magical 

And y’all wanna steal 

And copy 

Make profits 

Y’all still act like 

We ain’t humans 


Yet y’all came from 

The blackest womb….

Even from the black sperm….


Let me tell you 

Y’all hold black presence 

To your hearts behind 

Close doors like a lifeline…y’all worship 

Us, y’all constantly control 

Us every possible way…


If you tried your best 

To live without us on 

Our mama earth,

You wouldn’t last long 

To know what you do with 

Yourselves…

I remember friends who hung out 

With a lot of black people

They picked up our slang

I dated an Asian 

He thought he was a black man 

And he loves black women….


Every race worship black 

They fell in love with African 

Even though they mock us….


They will do their best to 

Whiteout us, however 

Our influence spreads 

Like countless wildfires….

I have seen black presence 

In their plagiarism….

I have seen us in each thing 

They do….

Like 


We’re their lifeline…

And we’re not….

It’s why they’re always in 

Our business…

They never want us 

To unite….

They want divide and conquer 

And take our culture….

Our culture is us….


Honestly 

Y’all 

People of 

Different backgrounds 

Can’t live without 

Us….

Y’all know deep down 

We’re the original

The first…

The educational system 

Will never teach 

The info in the classroom 

Not even on black history month…


You may think 

I’m a racist 

And hateful 

I don’t give a damn 

Black presence 

Has always been here

Inside you 

And the outside you…


Africa 

Is our birth home

We got the same mama 

Even the same papa

They’re black

When I first saw indigenous people 

With dark skin 

It just clicked 

Instantly 

Black people of their homelands 

Are everywhere 

Which means they’re first….


I never thought 

About European 

Was the first…

I never see a white person

Being native to the islands…

It was always a black human 

Walkin livin peacefully….

I didn’t picture 

White folks 

Being the first ones who 

Stroll around the grass 

The sand….

It was us….


Don’t forget that….

 

We’re the real life artifacts 

And too many of us don’t know that….


We’re the black presence 

In everybody 

Whether they deny or nor

We’re everywhere 

Even in Antarctica…


Don’t be fooled 

Don’t fall for their whitewashin black history…


I suggest you read 

Google 

Maybe watch educational videos 

Or you can speak to elders 

You can travel 

And learn about black presence…


They still try to erase 

Us but we’re breathin 

See our air….


We’re still in everybody’s face 

So we can’t dismiss us completely…

We see us in the way everybody do things..
