PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

AAAAAAAAARGH!  I yell aloud to vent my frustration

               the application of the tenets of

               anger management have me hell bent

               on my attempts not to internalize

               how I feel but....BE FOR REAL!



How could anyone expect me to kneel and feel like I still have

manhood in this the world of the "greater good."



I have worked very hard to attain this meager status but it

seems that the bus that Rosa Parks sat on was different from

mine.  Her's must've been #9 and mine was stopped at a red

light behind by about 30 yrs.  So me and my peers have been

led to believe that we should offer a reprieve to those who

would still choose to persecute us for being who we are?



F*@k THAT! Call me eccentric or belligerent but not ignorant.

I am completely aware of the persistent existence of racism

by the stares that have led to the covert yet still unfair

treatment of those "neggras" affectionately called AFFrams



But is it okay if I say "Naw, call me brown."  Because if I

have to be called a name or a color at least make it politic-

ally correct and cut me a f***'in check.  And to think that I

didn't believe in reparations but if we're gonna play this

secret separation game and call each other names in privacy

then fine...PAY ME!



I mean seriously, okay, let me settle down and wait and examine

the ground I stand on and really consider if segregation is

really gone, I mean really gone, hmmmmmm NOPE!



It all started with that bullsht HOPE.  I hope no one judges me

based on my appearance.  I hope I can be treated fairly without

consideration for my skin but how about YOU keep hoping and

dreaming it's gonna end.  You'll be dead wrong.  Somebody ring

the gong.  A wake up call is going out to all of those who

chose to jump ship and take a dip in the dream of equality

When Martin and Malcolm said "follow me" did you think you

wouldn't get dirty?  The time is now dark-thirty and the

REVOLUTION WILL BE TELEVISED



So don't be surprised if you sit up to watch a reality show

one night and they break out into a good, old-fashioned, black

and white race fight, aaiiight?!



To all of my affluent and intelligent "African-American" asso-

ciates and friends, don't worry, this ain't the end of the

world yet because all of those kids born "mulatto" get to

choose where exactly they want to stand when the crosses start

burning and all of a sudden all of the money you've been

earning has been paid for you to walk on eggshells not afraid

Oh No, not that!?  But if you thought for some reason that

you were being considered equal, wait on the reality show

sequel.



Point blaCK...all of the Jesse's and Al's and Johnny's won't

come when you call so unless you're a movie star or play

basketball you really don't even have enough loot for those

attorney's in the expensive suits to even give a damn about

your transgressors.  So pray hard because the doors of heaven

will be opening up for you soon during the next full moon when

you've already turned both cheeks and the meek have been hung

beside you symbolically in "that there oak tree" You can look down from heaven or up from hell and see me defending the

reason for me to be me...BECAUSE I WAS HERE FIRST DAMNIT
