They tell us
Fake it until you
Make it
Do it until
It becomes
Real
I must dismiss this
Cause
The hate I feel
is
Real
in your
Motions
Motives and
Actions
And you expect me
to NOT react when
You are being blatantly
Disrespectful
undermining my intelligence
with your
Macro aggressions
and your innate
Supremacy over me
Referring to this
as guiding
or leading me in the
Right direction
when all I see is the
White reflection
Let's stop pretending
that Civil Rights
reign supreme
when if you could
you would make
Martin Luther King's initiative
apart of your
Dream
Let us not pretend
that you think I
won't comprehend
your lack of respect for me
So
Instead of showing up
to your book discussions
Discussin' how
EVERYTHING
from Africa is black
except for the
Rulers of Egypt
and how
you found my forefathers
adorned in nakedness
with bones protruding from their big noses
Saying it was your saving grace
that kept us from going under
Until I heard
Ring Around the Roses
that's a song about the
Filth of England
and how they didn't bathe
and how ya'll tried to be rulers
but only had naives
I cannot fake
my awareness of the truth
or how you deem me simple
because I'm black and in my youth
I cannot fake
not being offended by your
Tar baby remarks
or act as if
everything is honky dory
to make you feel good about yourself
You don't like me
and I do not want to understand at all
So I refuse to respond to your
e-mails, texts or calls
Because I read too
Probably more than you
And if anyone is in need of help
I must confess
It's you
For asking me to fake a love
with someone who's hate is so evident
that it shines through the
B.S.
called your point of view
