Deemed with negativity
Precocious to the day of conception
Effervescently exploding
from a black woman’s uterus
Brought into existence…
So comely
The nation intolerantly waiting
to transgress this, this...
'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'
His disposition impaired
Vexed to the point of self destruction
Tragically…sometimes suicidal
Impatient to apprehend
and confiscate him
behind iron bars, made by them
used by them, ruled by them
Preserved in submission,
So violated he’s persuaded
to deprive a brethren of life
And by self justification...
they now delete him
Another believing he is free
Free only to be affronted by society
Because yes. he is over qualified
Even though posted…
the identical job descriptions
mirror his resume
Except it doesn’t say ‘black’
He walks away thinking irrational
His spirit, how broken
...how murdered
Too hypnotized…
by the Caucasian world
who say…they now treat him equally
But demanding more…much more
than his sisters ever needed
…the woman conceives his tragedy
A mulatto born to kill…
his precious, pure seed…
is now extinct.
