You prevent me moving on
You limit my horizons
You cheapen my achievements
And you delete me based on age

You are the judge and powerbroker
Little that qualifies you for this
And your prejudices and abilities gap
Run riot over my ambition

When you are from within
And not an agent for
My background scares you
And threatens your own standing

No perfect world
No meritocracy
No boat rockers
Just the usual suspects

What black man fears a white man?
Seem to be a different outlook in the present times.
I just want to know?
What black man fears a white man?

Even the hate and so-called fear the white man pushes.
Seems to be in groups.
None brave to stand alone.
Just maybe they got the picture of fear totally wrong.

We know they never reported a black flight?
But have heard of white flight.
Running from the situations they created.

Laws, they manipulate to stay ahead.
****, competition intimidates them.

Then so did a slave.
And they barely controlled anything but threaten by the powerbroker's guns.

White fear is a reality check.
Don't keep pushing hatred that you can't cash.
Because eventually, the message of rage will come back.

From the real man that you fear.
Readers, this is simply a poetic commentary.
Offended, get over it.
Comments hurt but only if there is truth within it.
Folks, seeking a mythological world of fantasies is hiding from reality.

Our past offends one more than ever before.
Even, now you see it going on too.
Still making up laws to discriminate against a few.

Folks, it's nothing new.
It still the same hue from the powerbroker's crew.
And they cry let's get over end to hide.

But truth always been on the oppressor's side.
You know the phase; you can run but you can't hide.
Besides history can't be erased for them to save face.

Your decisions hit ever minority race.
And now here they are crying in modern times.
Sensitivity hurt, so put it in your pocket.

And face facts, eventually you will pay in time
