20/20

Denying me my rights is just like denying me my sight.

Or refusing me to hear….but expecting me not to fear.

How can you call this a whole? When there’s clearly a crack in this bowl!

And the only way you’ll allow me to take my place is if I sell my soul.

I can’t do it!

You’ve had multiple chances to right your wrongs peacefully and you blew it!

To me you never had the intent to change and you knew it.

This country? Through a small privileged sized scope is how you view it…

We don’t see it the same!

I see…horror or even a tragedy but when I bring it to your attention you get mad at me.

Tell I’m crazy and to look at all that there is to offer!

But the fact of the matter is your experiences in this land have been much softer!

No one hates you for your color or constantly tells you “we’ll stop killing you once you stop killing each other!”

See how stupid that sounds? Now think about why we say your silence is so profound!!

Hold each other accountable and the results will be insurmountable!

But it’s easier to say “not my problem!” Or “they’re Black issues…how am I supposed to solve them?”
