Behind the joy of fundraising mittens Lies the truth, fear and delayed expectations Pouring milk over cereal is hardly caretaking Armored with semi automatics and fruit roll-ups Healing and unity are synonyms for Denial social appearance and shifting blame If not literally helpless, they pretend; Your homelessness should not embarrass you When you tell your cold son that this tent is a blessing They’re doing what they can in spite of the circumstances They voted for warm milk took money And sabotaged the guy Who sees, knows and fights I’m dreading the well worn rationalization and their refusal to be defeated While white authoritarians Drain blood from our hearts Maybe Mom wasn’t losing her mind.

The Optics of Compromise
"If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." It's all the white supremacist the president fails to mention. It's all these racist institutions that only aim for the retention, of all people of color still fighting against oppression. And all this lack of action is only building up the tension. I see all the reaction, I feel the apprehension. The impact still remains, regardless of intention. And if we remain silent, we continue the suppression.

Charlottesville 2017
What we idealize We condemn. Strip it from the backs Of those we oppress, Notwithstanding ourselves. Cram it in a box marked “DO NOT TOUCH” - A false preservation. Fasten wonder and difference in Wax-body museums. The overture of youth, displaced. Forcibly removed and Compartmentalized until Homogeneity reigns supreme In the halls of collective memory. Admonishment replaces admiration. The administration demands - How dare anyone have what We stole from ourselves?

Sado-Masochism
Stroke the boney-smooth boney smooth Clean The further West we go, the further Right to the beginning Cleansed clenched fists angry thoughts, centered on... Caucasian ??? ...the fluttering shaking Turner it around, Merry-Go-Round skin stretched tight muscles, display On the Farm with Ole MacDonald I live <radio> *Storm on horizon, lightning split the air, thunder crack the night now, 'Cause we're always there. You know Eight Owl's sittin' stand in a council everywhere? Forget your hopes see the future now, Aryan teeth are bared.* I drive past a sign for Trump.

Mr. Phil Faut
I’m dreaming of a White Christmas With not one foreigner you know; Where the people speaking Like good Americans The rest should get on planes and go. The best Christmas is a Lily White One. With stuff that Jesus understood; Like Santa’s reindeers And trees with tinsel And toys not one made of wood. I’m screaming for a White Christmas So shove that crap that Christ’s a Jew! Go and burn in hellfire with you! And my best Christmas wish comes true.

LILY WHITE CHRISTMAS
Do you know the meaning of "stop and frisk"? I'm sorry black brother, you do. Have you ever had to change your voice in order to get a job? I'm sorry black sister, you have. Have you ever had to remove your hijab because you needed to take a flight? I'm sorry brown girl, you have. Has anyone ever insisted you have extensive knowledge on every school subject? I'm sorry yellow friend, someone has. Have you ever been told to go back to your country, despite the fact that you're already there? I'm sorry red man, you have. Have you ever been called and illegal immigrant, but you were born in the u.s? I'm sorry Latino friend, you have. Have you ever been told that racism doesn't exist and, by someone with pale skin? I know I have. So this is to the ones who have been told that they "aren't black enough" because they use proper grammar and their pants don't sag. The brown boys with beards that get called "towel heads" To the Asian kids that are just as smart as the next guy. To the native Americans that still get called Indians. To the brown girls that get told that they don't have to wear their scarves because "we're in America"
