To you, their rights
are a minority priority

You're entitled, spoon fed
Gorged with greed
a coralling disease

Dormancy
a fence that protects you,

but a barbed wire noose
                           wrapped
                           round their throats.

You're just another ring
in the chains of oppression

Grass, truly greener
when one side's left to rot

But, then again  
that is exactly what you profit off

Her hardened feet and cracked heel
brush against the muddy ground.
She travels on foot to fetch water
as she withers away into the befouled.

MAN These HOSTILE Environments...
REALLY NEED RETIREMENT... !!!

From WINDRUSH’ Scandals...
To... Black Lives Battles...
These Environments RATTLE...
And HERD Like... CATTLE...

The Types of RABBLES...
Who Want To DISMANTLE...
The Types of Panels...

Where Racists LIE And Then Decide...
What’s... BEST For Black Lives...
When Our Lives FLATLINE... ?!!!!?

Because of Designs...
Where Environments HIDE...

How Racism Lives And STILL ENLISTS...
EVERYTHING From Politics...
To... Employment Tricks...

To Make Things HOSTILE...
For Blacks NOT On Trial... !!!

But You’d Best BELIEVE...
That These LEGAL Teams...
AREN’T... Squeaky Clean... !!!

When It Comes To BLACK DREAMS...
of... Justice Peace And Equality...

Where... HOSTILITIES...
Are REMOVED QUICKLY...
From Where Black Folks Be... !!!

From Jobs To The Streets...
To... Dealing With Police...

Where Hostilities Supply...
Environments Where Black People DIE... !!!

EVEN When They...

DON’T Commit The Type of Crimes...
of... Corporate Guys...
Or White... PAEDOPHILES... !!!

Whose Environments LINK...
To The WEALTHY And RICH... !!!

Who DON’T Feel The Sting... !?!
That Environments Bring...
To... Young Black Men...
And... Black Women...
When Policemen Decide...
To Be MORE Than Hostile...!!!

When They Feel That They...
Can Act ANY OLD WAY... ?!?

When Dealing With Blacks...
And Those Words Are FACT... !!!

But... HOSTILITIES...
Have MORE Subtleties... !!!

When It Comes To How...
White Employers Treat...
Black People Like MEAT...
When We Work For...
... Their Companies... !!!

Where NEW Slavery...
Is The Modern Theme... !!!

That STILL Deals In Hostilities...
Because of... Policies...
That DON'T Seem To Deal...
In Fair PAY Or Opportunities... !!!

Like Our Counterparts Get...
Because of Their WHITENESS... !?!

So Now... UNITY....
Is Now Proving To Be...
A BIG PROBLEM SUDDENLY...
In... Twenty Twenty... ?!?

Where... HOSTILITIES...
Are Now Being ERASED... !!!

But Is That...
... REALLY The Case... ?!?
Because I Read Today...

That... Melissa Rolfe...
Has Lost Her Job...
Apparently Because...
of... Political Moves...
That She Claimed Has To Do...
With... Her SUPPORT...
For... Policeman Crews... !!!

Because Her Stepson...
Has Now Become...

A Policeman Charged...
Because He Chose To Shoot...
Just A Little TOO FAST...
At... Rayshard Brooks...
And TOOK His Life...
Like Some Kind of Crook... !!!

The Environments Now...
Are Getting MORE HOSTILE... !!!

Because The PC Crowd...
Are Now SHOUTING LOUD... !!!

… Tearing Statues Down... !!!

And In My Honest Opinion...
Are Behaving Like CLOWNS... !!!

Just... RUNNING Around...
Who AREN'T THINKING About...

The PROBLEM That LIVES...
Because It’s... POLITICS...
And The Racists Who...
Are Hidden From View...
Who They NEED To Bring DOWN... !!!

Because Things WON'T CHANGE...
Because of Disarray And Violent Displays... !!!

It’s IN COURTROOMS And Chambers Too...
Where Laws Are ABUSED And Used To Set LOOSE...
HOSTILITIES... That Now Need To CEASE... !!!

Because The Race War Now...
Is What’s Causing FROWNS...
And Environments Are...
Becoming Like WAR Grounds... !!!

And That’s NOT A GOOD LOOK... !!!
Like Something OVERCOOKED... !!!

There’s NO Doubting That...
The System Is STACKED...
MUCH MORE THAN Heavily... !!!
Against Those Who Are BLACK... !!!

But We Need To RECOGNISE...
Who It REALLY Is That We Need To Fight... !!!

So I’ll REPEAT The First Lines...
of This Set of Rhymes...
Just... ONE MORE TIME...

For Those Who USE Their MINDS...
When It Comes To The FIGHT...
To Make... RACISM DIE... !!!

Because...

What REALLY NEEDS RETIREMENT...

Are These POLICIES...
That Are Used To BREED...
And Now... INCREASE...
These Political TYRANTS... !!!

Who Now Seem To FEED...
Off These.....

“ HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS “ …

Some Think That...
I'm... " BRAVE "... !!!

To Say The Things I Say...
About The Ways...
We Are... "ENSLAVED"...
By Those Who LIVE...

By... Getting Rich...
OFF People Who SLAVE...
EVERY SINGLE DAY... !!!

So That THEY Can DISPLAY...
A Life of EASY PLEASANT Days... !!!

While Those WITHOUT Financial CLOUT...
TRY Their Best To COVER Their Chest...
of... BILLS To PAY... !!!!!!!!!!

INCREASING STRESS That Places STRAIN...
On Hearts And Veins And Peoples' BRAINS... !!!

Such Views EXPRESSED...
Through My POEMS Is Why I GUESS... ?
Some Say I'm BRAVE... !!!
Well I Have To Say...

What's BRAVE About That...
When SLAVERY Goes With...
Words Like BLACK... !!!

And WHITEY' Knows...
Those Words Are FACT... !!!

But Just A Minute Now...
WAIT............................... .............................
Didn't Blacks ENSLAVE...
Before White Folks Came... ?!?

So... Who In TRUTH...
Can We REALLY BLAME... ?!?

It's... CLEAR To Me...
We DON'T HELP OURSELVES... !!!

GREEN Is The Colour...
That Makes Blacks SELL...
Their Souls To The DEVIL...
And BURN THEMSELVES... !!?!!

It's CLEARLY BRAVE To Trust...
Black People Who LUST...
For Money OR Holding A GUN... !!!

I'd Rather See BLACKS...
Raise... STRONG Children...
And Listen To Those...
Who Have... WISDOM... !!!!!

So Many NOW... QUICKLY SUCCUMB...
To Doing Things That Leave Them STUNG...
Then Wonder WHY They've Got PROBLEMS... !!?!!

Why EMBRACE PAIN Time And AGAIN... ?

"Embrace it once, then move on son !
Otherwise your actions, prove your dumb,
and, may just be your final ones' !
Especially if, policemen come,
Now that's not brave, that's stupid son !
Living your life, locked in prison !"

It Seems Some HATE To See A Black Face...
EVEN When Theirs IS The SAME... ?!?

How Can This Be EVEN... Today... !?!
PRIDE Envy And YES JEALOUSY...
Are Keeping Us From... UNITY...
And This Just FUELS Black Poverty.... !!!!

While Those ABOVE KEEP Having FUN...
Because of DIVISIONS And IGNORANCE... !?!

From Those Whose Names...
Are... NOT Worth Saying... !!!
NOW I've Got To Ask...
Are These Fools INSANE... ?!?

It Seems They ARE... !!!
Mix With Them... NAH... !!!!!

They Think They're COOL...
When In Fact They're FOOLS...
Learning How To Bring Blacks DOWN...

NO... " MINSTRELS Show "...
But YES They're... CLOWNS... !!!!

Taking... CENTRE Stage...
DOESN'T Make Them BRAVE... !!!!

Unless They're READY To Lyrically AIM...
At Those Who CLEARLY Run The Game... !!!

SEPARATISTS Who GOVERN Things...
Like WHO Stays RICH And Who They STING...
And Who They **** Like X And KING... !!!

The PLANS They USE Are NOTHING NEW...
They CONTINUE To... Do Their Do...
While Some Blacks Choose To YES REFUSE....
To RISE ABOVE... PETTY ISSUES... !!!

"How black are you !"

"Who you talking to ?"

"I'm talking to you !
White girl, white world !
Don't you know your roots !"

"Well, I guess you do,
but let me just, respond to you !
Your attitude provides clear proof,
that, you're a fool who's not been schooled,
in, divisive tools ! You're the type,
who can't take the truth,
and hides behind a crock of lies !
You clearly are one of those guys,
whose blackness is, your foolish pride !
Now I believe in Black Love, but hear me out cuz',
united we stand, but, division of thought,
is bound to see our people fall !
I'd like to see more unity !
So, will not suffer fools gladly !
They get dismissed, whatever skin they're in,
but, if you use your brain, then we can attain,
respect and love, on a higher plane !"

It Would Seem Fair To Say....
That... Stating A Case...
For... Making The World...
A... BETTER Place...
For Those With NOTHING...
On Their Plates...
And UNITY... Instead of Hate...

CLEARLY Makes Some Feel AFRAID... !!!
Which I Guess Is WHY Some People CLAIM...

" That Big Virge Guy...
Is TRULY....................... "

........ " BRAVE ".......

Excuses Excuses...
So MANY EXCUSES... !!!

For The Type of Looseness...
That Has Embraced NOOSES... !?!

EXCUSES For THIS...
EXCUSES For THAT...

EXCUSES For Plans...
That Have CORRUPTED Man...

BAD EGGS In The Batch... !!!
Where Policeman Are Hatched... !!!

Oh YES Bad Eggs INDEED... !!!
Is How RACIST Cops Be...
When RACISM Feeds...
Their Motives On Streets...

And In Turn How They Deal...
When They’re Using Their Knees... !!!

And Using Their... GUNS...
Like These Tasers That Stun... !!!

And Choke Holds That DON’T... !!!!!
When They Leave People COLD... !!!

Excuses UNFOLD...
Even When They Are Shown...
To Move... So Much SICKER...
Than Those Known As KILLERS... !!!

Excuses Come QUICKER...
Than Confession Sinners... !!!

Because of Protection...
These Bad Eggs Be Getting...
From Those Who NEED VETTING... !!!
BEFORE They Pass Sentence... !!!!!

These Excuses I Mention...
Are Those With DEFECTIONS... !!!

That Need REAL CORRECTION...
That’s Neutral And... CENTRED... !!!

Like... Natural Selection... !!!

There Are Others That SMOTHER...
...... Historical Blunders...... !!!
Like Those Now UNCOVERED...
About... CERTAIN Brothers...
Who Sold Their Own Mother’s... !?!

For... Colonial Masters...
A... FACTUAL DISASTER...
That’s Been So Well Plastered...
That EXCUSES Run Talk...
That IS STUPID And FLAWED... !!!
When It Comes To The Past...
And YES... Slavery Paths... !!!

You See Some EXCUSES...
Breed... MORE THAN Denial... !!!

They Hold Certain Files...
That Are TRULY OBSCENE...
Within... Black History... !!!

Like Those Now EXPOSED...
About... Certain White Folks...

Who’ve Earned Money For Shows...
With... BLACKFACE Videos...
And RACIST Themed JOKES... !?!

That Are FORCING These Peeps...
To Make... APOLOGIES...

As If They Will CLEAN...
Their Slates With Black Peeps’... ?!?

And Of Course Yes EXCUSES... !!!
For Things They’ve Been Doing...
That Lacked... Racial Prudence...

So Just Like The Others...

These Excuses PROVE LOOSENESS...
Is Something That Humans...
Exude In Their Movements...

And In... CERTAIN CHOICES...
That Have Done MORE Than POISON... !!!

Yes... HUMANITY... !!!

When... ACCOUNTABILITY...
Is What NEEDS To INCREASE... !!!

Because These FALLACIES...
Are What Make Some Heads Feel...
That It’s Best To... "Conceal"...

Themselves Behind LIES...
And... FRAUDULENT Deeds... !!!

And The Need To Keep Choosing...

To AVOID Being TRUTHFUL...
Instead of Indulging...

... In All These...

......... “ EXCUSES “....... !!!
