Our children are dying
Slaughtered upon amerikkkas streets
Their blood soaks the concrete
A mother cries a tearful song of death
Another Afrikan child
Has taken his last breath
Written off as a statistic
For the caucasian another victory
An endless cycle of genocide
But how can we stem the tide
Made in amerikkka
The afrikan youth
On the brink of extinction
Depraved in the red white and blue
Fighting the odds to becoming a man
Set back in life for taking a stand
The Afrikan males life
From beginning to end
From the ghettoes to the state pen
Than back again
Black on black crime
Ignorance is high
Unknowing or unwittingly
Were're killing for their side
"WHITE MAN CAPITALIZING OFF OF US DOING TIME"
Private prisons appearing as maggotts
Devouring our souls
A race trapped in an abyss of time
But revolutionaries
Revolutionize
A vision to recognize
Knowledge will open doors
On a world where
The Afrikan soars high with eagles
Beyond the atrocities of the ghettoes
Their tentacles of knowledge
Resuscitating our youth
Admonishing them the evils
Of the red white and blue
Slowly emerging
Out of cocoons of ignorance
Thirsting for the knowledge at hand
The Afrikan male
A fearless warrior
Human
Just like you

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY odonko-ba
StormThere is a storm that rages inside the conscious mind. Hurricanes that can't be tamed. Tornadoes spinning out of control. Tsunamis like Mountains seemingly reaching for the skies, and Dark Clouds unrendered, casting somber moods. Thank God for the Ink in my Pen.
Black Love Is Revolutionary!!!

Ramblings of a Chaotic MindOutwards, my heart pours to a deafening silence as cold as death itself. Yet to be manipulated by your titillating advances, tempted of your poison, is a tantalizing treat indeed. And as the wind blows logic to enlighten a sunless son whose light faded away eons ago, a bludgeoning of confusion portrayed as a result of an evil veil of secrecy and I, am going to the other side of the moon. Where martyrdom is welcomed by an emphatic few crooning of unrequited love, like, falling stars from above unabashedly riding fragments of supernovas across a darkened sky. |
A Quiet Summer RainShe regrets now As if her tears But her heart She cried For she couldn't understand Wasn't she good enough The sacrifices she made She was numb with disbelief Like a quiet summer rain |

I am not a beast I am not the monster You make me out to be Condemned ostracized and Castrated - a leper of My community Just to kill me with impunity Slaughter me and Call it democracy To silence me It's a ***ing fallacy Perverting normalcy Crazy all the bodies There is not enough dirt To cover your hypocrisy Everything you touch Ends in atrocities Your lies and deceit Cunning and chicanery Eclipse insanity Evokes a calamity which Inflicts humanity A sham on society Your democracy I've had enough Sickened and alone Barricaded in my home Today my voice Shall finally be heard I speak with the blunt force Trauma Of my Enemies Words
