Colorblind 2020
this year
i repeat, this year
has been a complete mess
yes, i’m blessed
but i’m over the stress
covid-19, self isolation, enduring racism and civil unrest
put me to the test
but I’m still standing
with all the strength God gave me
i’m more focused than angry
but even if i was…
who could blame me?
i’m over being sick and tired
it doesn’t matter how smart you are
if your life is hanging by a wire
a hallow thought for real freedom
awakened by tear filled protests and riot fire
since i continue to thrive through my oppression…
why continue to hate me?
create near impossible scenarios
for me and my people then say were lying
cover the sordid reality with criminalizing fables
many are capable but few are able
as though the system ain’t built
to abuse and or kill non-whites
if they cross an invisible line
the elites keep moving the goal post
but expect the Black people of the globe to keep acting like everything’s fine
while poverty is at an all time high
people losing their houses and livelihoods
quicker than i can open a bottle of wine
the government is stalling by buying used time
hiding… from everyday people’s imposed turmoil
wishing… they turn to a life of crime
how can justice be just while hired politicians play colorblind
