Like The Black Ku Klux Klan Poem by Dashaun Rashod Snipes

Like the Black Ku Klux Klan, we rise
In the shadows, beneath the guise
Of righteousness, we don our hoods
To fight for justice, in misunderstood
We wear our masks, with pride and honor
Our skin, a symbol, of pain and terror
For too long, we've been oppressed
Our voices silenced, our lives suppressed
But no more, we won't hide or cower
We'll stand up, with all our power
Against the hatred, that runs deep
In this world, where we struggle to keep
Our rights, our dignity, our existence
Proudly, we'll resist with persistence
For we are the Black Ku Klux Klan
Fighting for justice, hand in hand
With every step, we take in stride
Our ancestors, stand by our side
Their blood, runs through our veins
Gives us strength, to break the chains
Of oppression, that still holds us down
We'll wear our hoods, like a crown
For we are warriors, fearless and strong
In the pursuit of equality, we'll never go wrong
We'll spread love, in the face of hate
With every action, we'll seal our fate
As the Black Ku Klux Klan, united we'll stand
Against all odds, we'll make a stand
So let our voices, ring loud and clear
For the world to listen, to finally hear
That like the Black Ku Klux Klan, we'll rise
And with love and unity, we'll take the prize.
