Greetings

this is not the entire work
from of my latest poem titled

My Life © 2005 IAMWHOAM1959

" what is reflected?
In 13 year olds thinking booty calls
Our laws
Are now designed for pre-teen menaces -
From pre-k to BA
I was never suspended
But what now is suspended
Is the time
That black males spend behind bars
Charged
With triple homicide
I call it, Inverted genocide
Which begs the question - Have the children
Of Dubois, Truth and Garvey
Lost all pride?
I know we tried to incorporate
The traditions of a people who worship the god of the night
Their plight
Stemming from an ice age evolution
Their solutions are substitutions that we never should have accepted
Thus we rejected
Our ancient ways
the people of the Nile
And 10 thousand years of better days
And mos def - our kings sold slaves
For bottles of rum and gun powder they betrayed,
And it took 500 years
And over a billion tears
And now we have become our ancestor’s greatest fear
We took our kidnappers neurosis and angst to a higher level
And Mr. Minister
Its gonna take a lot more than calling white folks devils
Or be a rebel with a ghetto fabulous cause
And let the truth be known
Long before Katrina,
We let our own children starve
to paraphrase a line from my poem
This Aint Prophecy
what hidden clause did we read
that has us believing every trick thats up their sleeve
whether brilliant, ****** up or ill concieved
n 2001 Osama sent terror
we beg and plead..."
