Black Lives Matter. Poem by duke perry abrokwa
Black Lives Matter.
Thomas Jefferson said 'we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, '
(TRUE But Not for the Black man)
'that they are endowed by the Creatorwith certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life'
(TRUE BUT Not for Floyd George, Not FOR Kevin Matthew, Roy Nelson, Jamar Cleck, Tiara Thomas the list goes on)
'Liberty' (not for the black they still slaves in a masks, slaves to the system with no physical chains.)
'and the pursuit of Happiness'
(we will try but it seems Happiness runs too fast for the black lives)
The white man is always innocent till proven guilty
Black man is guilty hopefully you don't get a bullet in the head till proven innocent.
Blacks don't check the race box when applying for a job
Because we'll be label as lazy before the interview.
They call good paying jobs: white color jobs
Smart crimes: white color crimes
That is to say the black man is too dumb to commit such
Rather Gang violence, rapes, arm robbery are black related crimes
SHAME!
In America Cops rather protect their citizens against blacks than crimes. (Let it sink in)
No other race will ever understand how it feels like to be black.
How it feels like to be prejudged before you speak.
How it feels like to educate your kids on:
How their skin makes them different;
so they need to walk on egg shells.
how they don't get pull over and if they do;
They should say their last prayers while making sure the cops sees your hands.
On how the rich melanin pigments underneath their skin makes them a treat to society.
It sad we need to educate our kids how we end up here.
How we got opposed through fear
How they hand picked African Royals and turned them into slave.
The story on how our fore-parent got to the west, in chains and no food in a ship
How 400 years ago slavery changed the cause of history.
The story on how the black men and women hand build America railroads system
How the Blacks work on plantation just for a day food
How our mothers got rape in front of us as the gun stay pointing on our fathers
And how our kids are lucky to be a second class citizen of the nation they only know.
It's 2020 yet blacks are still getting Dehumanizing
They cover our true identity with lies from the classrooms
Do you know civilization began Africa
The first group of people to read and write are Africans
Christianity existed in Africa before colonization began.
The first mathematical instrument was found in Africa
The Richest man ever lived is not Rockefeller but Masa Musa from Africa
The Richest continent in the world is Africa
Most important we are Humans smart and creative as every race
The average Africa speaks at least three languages. FACT
So when I shout out black lives matter
I don't mean all lives don't matter
I mean 'Me as a black skin man
My lives matter too.'
Really a poignant rendition set aside for honest reflection. Very powerfully and movingly penned from the heart.
really thought out poetry, portraying injustice serve to people of color #BLM
That’s the most outstanding poem on black lives matter. It really needs credit
We sympathize with you and feel your pain, but the night must end at sunrise No other race will ever understand how it feels like to be black. How it feels like to be prejudged before you speak.
