Well Lookie’ LOOK LOOK... !!!

... ALL That It TOOK...
Was The World To Get SHOOK...
Like Some Mobb Deep Crooks...

For MORE Than Gang Colours...
To Create... DISCOMFORT... !!!

Cos’ I’ve Now Learned About Guys...
Whose Pride And LIES...

DEFINE Why Blacks...
Like To Make Attacks... !!!
Against Other Blacks... !?!?!

Because of The GUISE...
They Like To... HIDE BEHIND... !!!

of... Making CLAIMS...
About LOVING The DARK... !!!

When Darkness DOESN’T...
Sleep Under Their Covers... ?!?

It’s Skin That’s... LIGHT...
That They REALLY LIKE... !!!
And Their Colours Are GREEN...
And Those With LIGHT Sheens...

And Then... OCCASIONALLY...

The DARKEST Skins...
Are Treated As If They Belong WITHIN...
Their... "Tight Knit Crews"... !!!

of Those Who USE...
And Choose To ABUSE...

When They Are REFUSED...
The Right To Do What They Like To Do...!!!

Which Is... Act As Though...
EVERYTHING That They Know...

Is WISDOM Filled And Will Instil...
A Level of Thought That Is The SOURCE... !!!
of... Knowledge SUPREME... ?!?
I Mean... SERIOUSLY... !?!

Their REALITY Is FILLED...
With DREAMS And FALLACIES... !!!!!

That Make Them BELIEVE...

You Should GIVE THEM TRUST... ?
When They’ve LIED About Stuff...
That’s IMPORTANT As Well As SERIOUS... !!!

It’s A... CRAZY Time... !!!
Where A LOT of Black Lives...

SUDDENLY NOW MATTER... ?!?

Because RACIST Factors...
That Were Coloured As FALSE...
Have Now Been SHATTERED... !!!

Because of CAMERAS...
On... Mobile Phones... ?!!!?

So Now Colours Are HOT...
Like Topics That Were LOST...

APPARENTLY... " In Translation "... !!!

So Now HYPOCRISY BLATANT... !!!
Has YES Been... Stationed...
On The Kind of Stations...
Where Mostly White Faces...
Have... Discussed Colours...
As If They’re... ABOVE US... ?!?

While These So Called Sistas’...
And Blood ******* Brothers... !!!

Have Sat And Resisted...
Explaining That HATRED...
Remains UNDERCOVER...
Because of The BLUNDER... !!!

of... Keeping Mouths CLOSED... !?!
When They SHOULD of DISCLOSED... !!!

How It Goes On Shows...
And In Employment Zones...
For... MOST Black Folks... !!!

When It Comes To PAY...
Above The Minimum Wage...

Well They Should Be ASHAMED...
of... Being AFRAID... !!!!!

of... Speaking UP... !!!
When... RACISM...
Was What They GOT...
On Their Way To The TOP... !!!

of The... BIGOTS Club...
Where Colours DO NOT Run... !!!

UNLESS Of Course They’re For...
... PROFESSIONAL Sport... !!!

So The RACISTS Can CLAIM...
That Equality REIGNS...
Like SLAVERY CHAINS... !!!

Whose Colours Have Changed...
And Been... REARRANGED... !!!

To SHINE A LOT MORE...
Than They Did BEFORE...

They Did LAST SUMMER... !!!

So Now It’s CULTURE VULTURES...
Who Are BANDWAGON JUMPERS... !!!

... Coming OUT of Cupboards...
Because of Their... LOVERS... !!!!!!

And Because of Movements...
Now Causing CONFUSION... !?!
Because of ILLUSIONS...
That Now In Conclusion...

Are RISING In Numbers...
Just Like These SUCKERS... !!!

Who These Days Are NOW SHOWING...
What REALLY Are INDEED... Their...

..... “ TRUE COLOURS “..... !!!
The effects of this Pandemic, have spread far and wide, but have also proven to reveal, a great deal about people, hence this poem, and it's title.....
