Facts tho


COFFEE

Please enlighten me
Cocoa roast 
Of overdose
Energy
Plenty

Folgers...best part 
Of waking up
Is art 
To chart 
Heart 
Beat prior erupt
To passion
Everlasting 
Thought basking
Throughout day

Breath to that of rose babies
Breast savory
Salivation uncontrolled...maybe 

Aroused as cast meets mold 
Wet...tight grip hold
Eyes closed
Head tilted 
Mind jilted 
Aroma escaping covers 
As lovers 
Bare all 
Between sugar...soul...creamer
Stir her
 N' go...
Coffee 

LETTER TO THE SEPARATE-US (SUPREMACIST)

I am...a man
I am a...black man
With skin opposite yours

Some say 
You may 
Not like me 
But that's not my problem...it's yours
Opportunity
Of equality
Should grant an open door
Blood...sweat...tears...Lord knows our sacrifice 
How hard is it to accept us or understand our uncommon plight
How would you feel
To feel
What we feel
Maybe you'd think twice
Yet you hate 
Straight 
From your 
Core
And feel that it's alright

My ancestors never asked to come here...they were kidnapped to these shores
Unwillingly 
For slavery 
Bought n' sold for choirs 
Yet, say we don't belong here n' to go back 'cross the seas 
Again...never asked to be here...before 
You state beliefs 

Proclamation 95
Derived 
From freedom cries
Opened doors to Civil Rights 
Jim Crow wanted separation between the blacks and whites
Day n' night 
Colored 
N' unbothered 
Our father, which art in heaven
Still seeking 
Dreams
Of Dr. King
Remember? 
No judging color...skin
Folks are in...
Content...character...D.C. 
'63 
Witnessed by thousands faithfully 

I am...a man
I am a...black man
With skin opposite yours
My heart bleeds red...sweat drips from pores 
Work hard yet subject to class
As outcast 
Alien 
Yet, like you I am 
American
More or less, a human 
Being 
More or less
What you believe
I still
Will 
Achieve 
Without you...there's still me

I only ask
That 
Personally 
You...the Supremacist...
Narcissist 
To your kind 
Open eyes shuttered blind 
Study history 
Necessary
Your blasphemy 
Unnecessary 
Adversary 
Hatchet bury
Defuse hate 
Communicate 
To relate
Even though outward we 
May appear differently

Supremacist 
Religious 
To your kind...I too am
American
Born here...
Therefore free
My ancestors never asked to be here...I beg you 
To 
Open eyes to 
See

I am...a man
I am a...black man
More or less...a human 
Being 
Skin color opposite yours
Explore my history....
