We are human beings just like everyone else
To be a Black Man
To live in a world
where they hate
a confident black man
is like driving a car
with a slipped transmission
where no matter how much you
accelerate in life
the oppressor
still find you to be slow.
To live in a world
where they hate
a confident black man
is like a shiny gold trophy
treated as a toilet bowl.
To live in a world
where they hate
a confident black man
with a degree and clean record
you’re still treated as a joke.
I am done seeking acceptance
as a man in this sick wicked world.
