I wrote this a while back, after reading The Isis Papers (isn't it obvious?)...this is one of my infantile poems so don't be too critical with feedback :)

It's why brother Malcolm died

An inevitable condition,
It's why so many of us tried
It grows here in America more so than anywhere else
Especially amoung us
The search for knowledge of self

But how could you blame us?

We were brought to this nation
For fear of genetic annihilation
And feelings of isolation
In the Aryan nation
Subconciously, they nail me to a cross
Because my superiority makes them
Flip the script
They grip
Big brown cigars between their lips
And suck away at my maleness
An ailment
Too complex to be seen with the naked eye
But I spy you checkin' out the man on my arm
By his Blackness you are charmed
Fantasies of conceiving brown babies
Lurk in the abyss of your mind
I find it hard to believe
This reality you won't receive
But I pulled your card
Time to play a new hand
Taken to a new land
Where I am the majority
Anywhere else in this land
Your absence of color makes you look odd
Rearranage your thoughts
Before you get caught
In a web too tangle to unravel
Travel beyond Whitetown, USA
It's a new day
I see right through your scheme
Can't defeat my knowledge with your who regime
Fraudulent claims to be divine
Look at my roots and you will find
A Black Queen
Too beautiful not to be seen
That's why I don't have to scream to be heard
Command attention with my presence
My reverence
Demands no less

Mama knows best is what they used to say
But I say my mother is Africa
And so is yours
That's why I know who I am
The struggle has come to an end

Until the next child is born into this Earth
So I plant the seed of knowledge
For what it's worth
So that Generation Next
Won't be branded with an X
