Black Mails Poem by Tatianna Rogers

I'm find my self at a point of confusion

Because we seem to be under some strange delusion

that there is a Hierarchy that no one else can see

Where white rule blacks

We seem to think that light is far better and we can't do anything because we're stuck in the "dark"

Our black males are black mailed to assimilate to the higher culture

if you don't you're forced to live off welfare in a life where

misery lives and you pick at the government like vultures

Our black woman try to become white by putting heat to their black curls

And shaming their curves with elliptical machines

I am disgusted by the actions of my own people but I can't blame them

After all this is what they were taught

At first were being sold and now we are being bought by the

government that was supposed to treat us as equals

But now we are just another generation of slaves... a sequel
