I have not stood where they have.
I have not struggled as they have.
But I am not ignorant, nor am I blind.
Change must happen,
And I will not stand idly by.
Are you standing on the right side, or the racist side?

everly
i stroke the dirt above you
and hug your stone
never minding the soil that stains my jeans
a tear rolls down my cheek
as i trace my index over your
engraved name
and the wind whistles for
us both

They look right at me
But they don’t see me
Breaking
They listen to me
But they dont hear me
Screaming
We live together
And yet we’re miles
apart
They say the know
But they don’t know
Me
They say the understand
But you can’t truly understand
Unless you’ve lived through it
They haven’t
I have
So don't say you see me,hear me,know me,
Understand me
Because
You
Dont
To those who feel like they're not really seen.
Don't you admire his ringwork;
His footwork and speed?
Dance. Jab. Dance.
Did you see Rambonehead snap?
Glossy-eyed. Swollen and staggering
Like the bloated incumbent.
Jab. Dance. Jab.
The Dope's been roped.
The final count's on.
Obama only has to say a few words to stagger the Rambonehead.
He floats and stings.
