whiteness has been
the virus of the world
since before you were born
the issues have been pressing
pressurized
for generations
patiently
threatening
to declare
martial vengeance
dissociate in vein
teach children
to leave the other behind
in vein
do not dare
to tell them the truth
that vengeance cannot
be left behind
it catches those
that were unaware
first
uncertainty
the loudness of fear
overwhelming clarity
of existence
the situation
is none other
than our experience
dissociation of whiteness
stop sleeping
drunk dreams
while killing darker skinned children
and mothers
in the name of peace
inaugurating terrorism
fanning flames of vengeance
hand me down
genocidal family structure
weapons of whiteness
the capitalist mediator
spewing apathy
and bleeding complacence
into post apocalypse
with freedom
