Come join us
at the international
Writer’s opposite of a retreat
Where we convene to write
in the places that have the least amount of peace
On the front lines of genocide
At home and abroad
Exposing through writing
The urgency of our work

our message to the complacent retreat
Join us as we forever
For all to see
Unravel imperialism contest
Protect the innocent  from unnecessary suffering
With paper pens cell phones I pads computers
no entry fee needed
Three awards for the best poetry
Non fiction and fiction
first and last prize is life and a future
my message is not as easily dismissed
Minimized and catagorized
Like the stereo type of black profanity
Black music rap hip hop
I refuse to be isolated and sent off to the prison
Of white elitism trickled down into poor white persons
Pure White Island boasting made up origins
Aristocratic dream
Having only an absolute ending
My words come from light skin
The honors class war on insides of white institution
My words come from within the confines
The razor wire fences of whiteness
beyond premeditated
Pre-infiltrated always looking for the harshest
Most efficient
Most direct ways to declare
Unflinchingly whipped and slaughtered and *****
in any order
domesticated international doom
I find myself constantly surprised
By the reserve and compassion of criticizing whiteness
Even in weapon yielding
Terrorism
Mild and peaceful by comparison
Black think tanks beyond slave based Ivy League colleges
Centralized Africa dissolving the black made white efficient
To sustain slavery
Or the after effects genocide on bravery
those depths of imperialism
where outsourcing of labor massacres
Starves and destroys humanity
All of the sudden
With enough funding to make whiteness
By design
language history engineering sociology philosophy business
To make American whiteness the underdog
Not enslaved like blackness has been
Not the priority without its historical purity
Not the reason for existence
Or the beneficiary of human harvest
Malevolent adventure story that captured
The imagination and focus of leisure
Taking advantage of poor light skinned ethnicities
white American Feminist
in a sweatshop with women making her clothing
Next time you say you are white

become the fascist
Forcing ethnicity into a clean slate
Don’t hold back
Even one bit
No common cure
For this mental illness
So **** it
Miseducate youth
Imprison the sick
With diminished resources
Redistribute wealth
Stay out of the sun
Unless vacationing wildly
Don’t let your parents
Or your ancestors
Mix their ethnicities
Make a white brick wall
In your mind
When we try to get in
Drag you out into
The black reality
Black Death
Not the intellectual
Not objectified kind
Not the white body
constitutional agreement
Empty beauty for the indulgence of lust
Insisted on emptied ethnicity
deported hero forgotten
A new race to find those words
The combinations that tip apathy over
Spill it over undercover white fascists
Drowning in empathy
Desperate to change immediately
**** the fragility of whiteness
I’m investing in the power of everything else
Ethnicity never sleeps
When my skin is light
I have to find other ways
To make white peoples uncomfortable
God is decolonization
God is decomposition
God has never been
Never will be White
God is not a social construction
God is anti imperialism
God is by any means necessary
God infiltrated whiteness
She loves her reflection
In my eyes
She loves the way I risk
She loves my investment
In revolution
She loves my resistance
Irresistible to her
She loves organic intelligence
My stories made up
And real as making up
Can be
She loves me
Talking bout race politics
Minority acceptance
My parent had consensual ***
Black and white
Your dilemma doesn’t exist to me
It is me
But being born
Is different than your understanding
Of race war and genocide
No matter how smiley
The words
Or how silencing bombs
Shaking the ground apart
Minority
Killing me
Diagnosing exclusivitys
Since Revolution begun
As if this human reunion
Is all of the sudden peaceful
Loving
Kind
So I fell in love with you
