#minorities
This is not a recrudescence of sexism and racism
In America or in the world, but rather
A continuum of malfeasance, antagonism
And ******** cruelty of the systemic horror
That Blacks and other minorities have endured
As slaves whose future was obscured or uninsured.
From the nascence of this evil and odious society
Filthy cowboys have killed Indians and Africans selfishly
And inhumanely. Horse mounting agents or criminals
With police or law and order credentials
Hoisting or twirling whips and menacing deadly weapons
Have acted like obnoxious western movies actors or fripons.
This is not a bit surprising in this day and time
Where old images have stained their brains
Hardened their hearts made of acidic stains
And their internal organs are nothing but slime
We all have seen the racist, ugly, repugnant and grubby picture
Of these devils who blatantly violated the laws of nature
Thinking that they will get away with ****** and sins again
While bragging that the innocent migrant victims are not human
They were wrong yesterday and this morning: Black Lives Matter
Haitian Lives Matter and American Indian Lives Matter
These coward cowboys will go down, as scuzzbags, in history
And they'll be punished for being cruel, aggressive and creepy.

America is beautiful, great and wonderful
Eadem opera, she is ugly, pitiful and dreadful
In regards to the mistreatments of the Native Americans
The African Americans and other minorities
Yet, America is one of the best countries
In the world to be part of or to become citizens
Slavery remains an everlasting thorn in her history
Discrimination is a skulking cancer that won't go away
Any time soon. In the USA, one can always find a way
To survive, to make it amidst the chaos and the irony
Yes, America remains a land of a plethora of opportunities
We all hope and dream of a better America
We all pray and wish for a better America
Where breathe love, peace and auras of positive energies
We love America when she's right, just and fair
America, America can be like a Giant Bear
Who will equally protect her children
America can be like an uncelestial heaven
Let's celebrate Juneteenth: the emancipation proclamation
And the Fourth of July with love, peace, respect and admiration.

Not all flowers have thorns
but roses do
roses are special, they are beautiful
just to the likes of you
so many flowers are pretty
but nothing compares
to the aesthetic of roses
and that's why they are aware.
their thorns protect them
they are born to fight
but they keep us silent,
cut our voices
they make us die
some people don't like roses
or don't like their thorns
they'll cut off their leaves
because they aren't thorns
and they'll cut down the thorns because nothing should be in the way
of their love
or so they say
when they cut our thorns
they are so proud
but do they know they take the rain out of clouds?
they break the spell,
they obstruct the beauty
sometimes they go ahead and just shoot me
I wonder, I wonder
oh dear rose of mine
why you die, oh you die
without your thorns sublime
not all flowers are roses
but none wishes to be
for the life of a rose
is as miserable as torture makes us be

“Have a share“
They say
Then only look at some
They turn their back on others
Pretending they are none
There is only a share
When things are being shared
How can we have a share
When some people never were
In possession like the others
But does that even matter?
Rights aren‘t potatoes
We don‘t cut them like fries
We don‘t share them like a meal
We don‘t have to lose to thrive
Your ugly entitlement
It‘s based on taking from other‘s
You took a share and claimed it “right“
Then dared to call it “rights“.
There is no “right“
And no meaning to rights“
When you build up on the wrong
Rights have never been potatoes
You don‘t decide who gets a share
Rights are no achievement
They are universal care

Grass, truly greener
when one side's left to rot
But, then again
that is exactly what you profit off

Superposition amongst two worlds
Collision of chemistry, biology and physics
An addition of yin and yang
Spirituality
A oneness only a minority craves
An amalgamation of black and brown
Asian strings
African drums
Mud and
Coal
Is that not what makes up our world?
Not trees with leaves of green dollars
Our pain contributes to our art

Americans, well, at least in the media believe that the way to change behaviors is to punish either criminally, civilly or socially anyone who doesn't fit the societal norm.
Think about that for a minute,
...when someone is emotionally conflicted to the point that their behavior is no longer considered within a range of acceptance and THEN society decides, or any group, movement, political ideology or party to shun or expel, to incarcerate, admonish and thereby torture an, "emotionally conflicted," soul what you have accomplished by society's response is to create permanent anger and hatred.
Permanent anger and hatred.
American society therefore can be said to relish hatred and permanent anger as a way of life for all of it's citizens since every single person whom is inflicted with pain upon suffering will be assured to continue inflicting whatever pain and suffering they can on everyone else the rest of their life. So your only solution is to remove these souls from society permanently.
Was that the intent?
Is that the goal?
Do we need law, rules and fantasy crimes for every single thing a person says or does?
Is the endgame to remove these from society or to reform them?
Imagine now,
America arrests or imprisons one million people per year for using drugs,
...there are forty million felons alive today.
Wow! Lot of bad guys off the streets huh? Let's put that another way shall we?
America ruins a million people a year.
America creates a million 'soon-to-be' violent felons every year.
"Felons," who were nonviolent before being tortured by society and tortured in prison...forty million angry people live around you right now.
Forty million people!
America must want the nation to fail for every year we destroy a million people just because we want to be able to say at least I am not as bad as that person and point your finger while knowing there is no reason, no civil crime, that warrants bankruptcy, imprisonment, violence, **** abuse, belittling, shame and banishment just because you personally don't like video games.
...or you don't like gambling,
...or you don't enjoy ***
...or you don't smoke marijuana,
...or you hate Hollywood liberalism.
...you can't stand alcoholics,
...or you're afraid of the mentally ill.
...or your jealous of the *** you perceive someone having,
...angry because you think you work harder than someone else,
...because you deserve a better life so why not destroy others right?
Hatred as a virtue.
I wonder what our economy would be like if the 'fifty-plus' MILLION alleged criminals had jobs instead of listing away producing the smallest amount of productivity possible because YOU THINK they deserve to have a worse life for acting in a manner you do not agree with PERSONALLY.
That is one out of every seven people in The United States.
Hatred perpetuated.
That is American culture and that is why Black Lives Matter.

they do not love us.
they break us down,
bit by bit,
crumbling until we can't take it
anymore.
they turn us against each other,
fighting like there's
no tomorrow,
never getting anything done.
they make it so we can't live
anymore,
hate becoming as popular
as television
and violence a
spreading wildfire.
we try to push through
their concrete barrier,
but it will not budge,
pushing us deeper down,
struggling to breathe
as we
drown.

Being a girl is hard
But being a black girl...
Let me tell you about being a black girl
Leave Out
Twist
Frontal
Perm
Pick your poison
"Unprofessional"
Or falling for " European Beauty Standards"
" Why are you so quiet?"
Do you expect me to be aggressive
And snap my fingers in an A-Z formation
Light Skin is the best skin
Or so they say
I'm jealous of my brother, for his caramel skin
Oh what I'd do for that caramel skin
You think that's the worst of it but have you see ****
Cute girl makes love to -insert famous **** star here
Ebony ***** gets banged till she squirts
Which would you rather watch?
If you ever turned on a TV you'd see reality shows with the perfect blue eyed blond hair cast and the one black kid who doesn't get enough attention
Ever since Rachel was the Bachelorette I too prayed one day I'll find the man of my dreams
Have you ever had a crush on someone and ever think if they even like girls your skin color?
Being a girl is hard
But being a black girl
Oh let me tell you about being a black girl

Trump, he seems to make a point of stirring up the ***
He makes outrageous statements, thus making tempers hot.
He seems to like upsetting people so they shout or cry.
It all seems so unnecessary, so I'd ask him, WHY?
These last few days he hurried out an immigration ban,
without due consultation that would craft a solid plan.
He could have sought out some advice - something that he should try,
but he believes he knows it all, which makes no sense. So, WHY?
His words and actions seem to make him look like a buffoon;
a caricature cut out from some political cartoon.
If he'd provide a reason through intelligent reply,
there'd be no need to scratch our heads and keep on asking, WHY?
He seems to hate minorities and some religious groups.
This brings about division and rallies all the troops.
This could lead to a new world war where millions would die.
Where does he think he's taking us and, more important, WHY?
WHY doesn't he just take a moment so he can explain?
WHY can't he simply tell the truth and say what's in his brain?
WHY can't he and his followers be glad for what they've got?
Explain... Be kind... Be strong... Be smart. For heaven's sake, WHY NOT?

As a sensible,
As a logical,
And a well informed fellow
I asked that when you meet the Devil
Where do you draw the line?
Quick wit, to leave me assured
You affirmed, my friend, I'll never cross this line
Persistent and fiendish, as Devils are
He barreled through the line, with evil in his eye
Thankful to have a friend, I asked, is this enough?
Uneasiness overcame me when you said it was okay.
Quick wit, to leave me assured
You affirmed, my friend, I'll never cross this line
But he truly was hell, this ****** Devil
Carelessly he pushed right through, past the line again.
Worried, I asked, well surely we're in danger?
Of course not, he replied, siding with Devil and his plan
Quick wit, to leave me assured
You affirmed, my friend, I'll never cross this line
With no limit, his forked tongue just laughed
Storming through again, no one in his way
Terrified, I pleaded, this nonsense had to stop
My friend, now foe, said this is the only way
How foolish I must be to,
To ever believe a line that couldn't be crossed.
And to think you'd stand by me.

I'm sorry you think me offended
I'm sorry you refuse to see
I'm sorry when I show you the mirror
that its white fragility you see
I'm sorry that I don't fit your narrative
that America is the greatest to be
I'm sorry that it hasn't been, not for people
like me
I'm sorry that you can't accept it's different
But I am not sorry for who I am
Nor am I sorry for what I believe
Not sorry for the truth
Not sorry for my protest
Not sorry for the bruising words
Not sorry for the wounded ego
Not sorry for the things to come
Not sorry that I'll never quit
Just sorry for you.

I have friends who have gotten hot coffee thrown at their backs
for only half of their heritage.
and I have friends who have been told to hang themselves
with things they only wear on special occasions.
and I have friends who know nothing of these fears and these events,
because their privilege is as dominant as their
race
sexuality
gender
and they're as seemingly neurotypical
as it comes.
but still,
they empathize.
they understand.
and I'm certain if they were asked,
they would fight alongside
us too.
there is hope within this darkness,
there is warmth within this storm,
we will fight until the end of days,
and then we will fight further on.
please just stay strong.
it would be easy to give in,
it would be easy to give up,
it would be easy to let this be the end,
to sigh and wrap our time up.
but this is just the beginning,
and we know nothing of the end.
so stand against us as our enemies,
or rise with us as our friends.

dear young black girls,
i'm sorry that you cannot turn on the TV and see black female role models.
i'm so sorry that you are constantly being shamed for your natural features.
sorry that you're constantly under the pressure to comply with eurocentric beauty standards.
your skin color is a blessing.
your hair is beautiful.
do not change anything about yourself for the sake of the way society views you.
dear young black boys,
i'm sorry that your constantly seen as a threat to those around you.
i'm so sorry that you cannot gather in in a group with all of your peers without the fear that you're going to be accused of doing wrong.
sorry that society will someday see you as a "deadbeat dad" and someone who won't be able to provide for himself, much less his family.
your skin color is beautiful.
ignore everyone, keep up the good work, you will be successful.
you bleed the same color as every other human being on this planet and i am so sorry that has not yet been recognized after how many years?
irrelevant.
you are loved, you are wonderful, you are talented, you are unique.
follow your dreams.
be ambitious.
fight for your beliefs.
stand your ground.
justice will be served.
change will come.
