My jubilant latent, nascent and potent poetic tribute to black history month

CATEGORY

Views: 35

Which acknowledgement ought to be year round,

similar to altruistic, humanistic, and philanthropic

unconditional acceptance and respect

crafted with the following words

mostly written January 23rd, 2023,

cuz I, (a sexagenarian married Caucasian male)

get goosebumps when learning

about individuals, (whose skin color

spans the color spectrum)

contributed invaluable positive deeds

(not necessarily done dirt cheap),

yet impacted civilization in general,

and yours truly in particular

being analogously thunderstruck with awe.

more apropos and alternately titled:

praise to thee people

of variegated melanin color,

whose immense understated improvements

and enhancement of webbed wide world

worth more than paltry words

of yours truly can communicate.

Though I yam spud during Caucasian,

tis rightful to honor that most bitter

racist genocidal crime,

nevertheless ovation qua

treated worse than pestilential critter

quintessential significant contribution

vis a vis that doth litter

anonymous multitudinous peoples

many unknown dark skinned souls

bravely fought as non quitter

with melanin so coon sitter

this asthma feeble attempt

made to mind of literate

parent, guardian or sitter

adorn aye rhythmically twitter

to Homo Sapiens with Negroid color

(please pardon any unintentional slight)

who, despite being human bondage

managed to adorn

worthy contributions to society,

though an American (though not so proud

until death do me part)

and civilization since time immemorial

hence, I wanna pay poetic homage

to persons born

akin to diversity exemplifying gamut

analogous to Indian (Jimmy crack) corn

debased brutally and forlorn

and raised in cornucopia horn

of plenty with rare serf tenderness

whipped by wicked task masters

from the crack of morn,

whipped, pummeled, beaten...

courtesy Jim Crow whose dignity shorn

aye cannot fathom why

a great proportion of humanity

must struggle on scraps of subsistence

viz with fifty plus shades of chocolate

vile shamefully opprobrious sworn

vengeance toward those

via heroic efforts escaped,

manacled, tortured, et cetera history

as slaves an existence

until...pacified family dislocated

sans rent asunder, ripped and torn.

Once a proud family akin to Brady

bunch, now brutally, nasty

and short lived poorly destitute

(case in point) like Haiti -

once a nation extant with cultural finery

insidiously raped pink "Lady"

lacerated odiously robbing

unique peoples as owners didst slay

practically naked "Primates"

encaged like wild animals in zoos

culturally robbed while

abhorrently marched in ones and twos

shredded souls without shoes

(analogous to persecuted Jews)

of singular ambition to break shackles

fielding exorbitant dues,

through tightly fused

linkedin manacles to life as they choose.

This just one example of many peoples

UNFAIRLY subjected

to subservience and exempt

from enjoying the fruits of their labor.

January twelfth two thousand and ten

original date a portion

of this communiqué writ then

kept wedged where in no wise

bore visual witness

vis a vis near annihilation and destruction

of African, Haitian,

South American, et cetera nations

whereby countless/ nameless individuals

e’en the strongest Herculean type men

crushed by humungous slabs of

building facades practically

demolishing every creation

since this island settled, which

indigenous tribes sought safety

in any geologic den

seeking solace and salvation

from wrath of nature

by paying obeisance via oblation

perhaps giving credence to clear water

in tandem with rooster and hen

that laid a golden egg

and chicken thing, especially

as encroaching savages affected violation

particularly when Europeans

foisted forfeiture of land

with primitive implement like pen

no matter that travesty, trickery, mockery,

et cetera wrought humiliation

pleading invaders to forsake

such actions that rent asunder

culture beseeched god when

these hashtagged brutish, nasty

and (shortish) Hobbesian simians

to cease desecration,

yet the peoples of this dominion rose

from the ashes like the phoenix like bird

no mattered genetic pool underwent

white washing from scouring influx

from western thumping proselytizers,

which alien beliefs hard to swallow like curd

basically bribery (with lustrous trinkets)

ah those coveted legal tender

upon emancipation proclamation cessation

to sell men, women and for x amount of bucks

akin to the soundcloud winged fowl clucks

foisted/ forced the unpleasant alternative

(wanton slaughter) to be clearly heard,

yet within the very fiber of tropical

mangrove persons patiently

lined up their ducks

and declared as one of the first

African American peoples

INDEPENDENCE to be the word

whence adulation, elation, inspiration echoing

across ramshackle greensward.
