Now DON'T Let The Title Confuse You... !!!
This Piece Is About How People ABUSE...

People of SUBSTANCE...
Because of POOR Judgement... !!!

By This What I Mean...
Is That People Now Seem...
To Tell Themselves... " DREAMS "...

About How People... BE...

Some CHOOSE To BELIEVE...
That Because A Woman’s... " PRETTY "... !!!

... She MUST Be A QUEEN... ?!?

ESPECIALLY Black Peeps’....
Who Believe In FALLACIES... !!!

... Queens of VANITY...
Is How They Seem To Me... !!!

And Then Of Course...
CERTAIN Black Folks TALK...
About The MELANIN...
That Defines Us As KINGS... !!!

Well If That’s The Case... ?

WHY... Is It... ???
US DARKER Folks...
Are Normally The **** of Jokes... !?!?!

And Have To Face...
IGNORANCE MOST Days.... !!!

Now That’s Substance ABUSE...
That’s Based Upon RACE... !!!

Because My Black Face...
ISN’T SEEN As... “ GREAT “... !!!

Unless I ENTERTAIN...
Or Run Like... USAIN... !!!

In FACT... BROWN Skin...
Seems To Be The Thing...
That Gets You... “ IN “... !!!

... INTO Clubs...

Where ABUSE Then Becomes...
... The Kind of Stuff...

Where TOO MUCH SUBSTANCE...
In Terms of Ones... COLOUR... !!!

Can Get You FRONT COVER...
Because The Club Made The BLUNDER.... !!!!!

of Telling Black Chicks...
That They... “ CAN’T COME IN “... !!!

Because They're In A... “ DSTRKT’ “...
That Has Been... "RESTRICTED"...

From Their DARK SKIN... !!!!!!
THICK *** And BIG HIPS... !!!
Cos' They Just Don’t FIT... !!!!

Now Ain’t THAT A *****... ?!?

This Is Where It Begins...
From Police In The Streets...
To Those In White Sheets... !!!
Who Won’t Let Black Peeps...

Get To Sneak And Creep...
... In Between *******... !!!

Or Have Their ****...
Get A Fair Skinned Lick.... !!!

An INCREDIBLE Thing...
In A World TODAY...
That KEEPS Making CLAIMS...

That... " Things Have CHANGED "... ?!?

Because Some Now Play...
The... “ Mixed Race Game “... !!!

So Now Think It’s OKAY...
To Believe That HATE...
Has Now Been ERASED.... !?!?!

Now That’s Substance Abuse...
Or Better Still Brain DRAIN.... !!!!!

Which Is Why HATE Groups...
... STILL EXIST Today... !!!

Who Now Try To Recruit...
... Disillusioned Youths... !!!

Who Then GO TO School...
Pull Out Tools And SHOOT... !!!!!

Now That’s Substance Abuse...
That Is... NOT COOL... !!!!

NO DRUGS In View... !!!
But... ATTITUDES...
That Nowadays PROVE... !!!

How Substance ABUSE...
Is STILL Being FUELLED...
By The IGNORANT Few.... !!!

Or Is That... MANY... ???

Well They Seem Ever Ready...
To NOT Rock Steady...

In FACT They Drop HEAVY.... !!!
When You Watch Your Telly...

Or YES.... TV....

Where People Now See...
ABUSE That’s OBSCENE...
... Run PRESIDENCIES... !!!
And Brexit' Themes In 2017... !?!

... This Just CAN’T BE... !?!

Substance ABUSE...
STILL IN The News... ???

From Colour To Lovers...
To Young Night Clubbers... !!!!!

It Seems That Dark Hues...
Still Have To CHEW...

On IGNORANCE And Being Viewed...
As The LAST To Get Through... !!!

Well A Few NOW DO...

But Let Me Just STRESS... !!!
That The REST CAN ATTEST...

To This Simple TRUTH...

When It Comes To Who’s WHO....
Just Because of How WE LOOK... ?!?

We’re STIIL The Ones Who FACE...

... “ Substance Abuse “...
The race issue still seems to be driven by ignorant views about those of us with darker hues !
