Boiling Blood

CATEGORY

life

Views: 552

Rivers of magma and mud

course through

my veins and arteries

 

heated by your disdain

 

inflaming every part of me

 

my rose-colored

vision now crimson

clears my perception

to see your indiscretions

 

my behavior?

merely your reflection

 

you can’t stomach

your own ugly

 

makes you regurgitate hate;

is giving you the bubblies

 

I tire of being

sh!tt'd on

by fire hoses

 

bitten on

by my best friends

In four-legged uniforms

at your prompting

 

Tired of continually wanting

what I never get:

 

common decency and respect

 

Tired of being portrayed

from cradle to grave

as either King Kong

or a slave

 

Tired of being the other

 

Tired of being the enemy

When in truth

I’m humanity’s mother.

Your existence begins

and it ends with me

 

You deprive me my history

like an unalienable right

 

Refuse to recognize

and legitimize my gripes

 

This is my plight

 

This is why I write

 

This is why the storefronts burn

 

what inequity ignites

in the hearts of exploited people –

not just here, but around the globe

 

From Arab Spring

to Occupy

to Hong Kong, China

your control is being challenged

 

credibility’s been damaged

 

hordes of the oppressed

awakening across the planet

like hibernating giants

 

the hubristic defiance

I’m confident is welling up in you

can only end in violence

 

For only systemic change

can cool this boiling blood.

and THAT is something

you will never willingly

be part of

 

What choice remains

outside of revolution?
