I apologize if I offend thee

Hmm not really...

For centuries I've waited for sincere empathy

That may inspire a genuine apology

At the very least the acknowledgement of the things you took from me

The things you've done to me

It makes sense why you fear me

Shooting I; unarmed in the streets

You label me a villain, so you can sleep in peace

Teach your babies that you're mentally intellectually superior to me

Stack the deck so that I fail and they succeed

You thought I was inferior because then I lack technology

Throughout history you speak

Do not as I do but as I say

But you say life liberty and be happy

But what you practice is death oppression and hypocrisy

I've always seen the true colors of your Lilly white supremacy

Born in lies now your offspring drape themselves in the 2nd amendment of your subconscious guilt and insecurities

Reasoning every mass shooting as a mental deficiency

The irony... But I agree

Gradually your mythology is being exposed for the world to see

Your pedophile priest your bought politicians

false integrity

The harlot of Babylon revelation prophecy

My third eye see that your Messiah is a wolf dressed as a Shepard of sheep

I don't apologize if I offend thee

I feel sorry for you

the truth is you exceed in violence because spiritually and ethically you are weak

I get it

Grandma and grandpa taught you that's just the way it is

Taught you not to trust s, towel heads, chinks and spicks

Consciously and subconsciously you go about your life

It's just the way thing is, and you'd be damned before you give away the benefits of your white privilege

Label me the devil for calling you out on it

Your blood in my veins because you raped my mother

Visions of castrations while you hang my father 

It makes me wanna holler

yet I believed love could defeat hate

For centuries for your wars I bled, I died, I survived

It's so funny to me your feeling of being forsaken and forgotten

Your feeling of being neglected and down trodden 

Like someone cracked a whip while you sang oh lord pick a bale of hay oh lord pick a bale of cotton

Like you were promise 40 acres and never got them

Like you wake in the middle of the night to burning crosses

Like someone rioted and destroyed your Wall street and nobody stop them

Like someone infected you with syphilis and told you it was bad blood shot and

Like someone killed your Huey, Malcolm and Martin

Like you were terrorized by evil adorn in masks and robes of white cloth and

Like someone dropped crack in your neighborhood to fund war profits

Forgotten? Like you know what life is like at the bottom

Do I offend thee? Do I strike you with fear so that you want to pull out your gun and kill me?

I offend thee when I march in the streets

I offend thee when I take a knee

I offend thee in my manner of speech

I offend thee because despite it all I persevere, and I thrive and I succeed and

I Be.

Indeed, you be a budding poet getting ready to teach the children who they are and must be as those the Ancestors are waiting for. Write on that those waiting may hear with their eyes what their ears have failed to see. have enjoyed your words today. Peace and Love, mlowe5
