I'm not your uncle Tommy
Your aunt Tammie
I'm not your Mammie
Aunt Tammie
Aunt Tammie
Tell your uncle Tommy
STOP slandering me
Racist
Racist
I did write a thesis
On uncle Tommy and Aunt Tammie
Trying to covertly shame thee

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

Everyone wants to
Cover up
Their mess-up
On a corrupt
That should have been rescued
A long time ago
But someone
Wanted to have fun
Forever more
Truly a tragedy
Me and my baby
Needed help
From this abusive
Judicial system
Keep trying
With spies
In the room
At the shelter
