Black Man: The New
Alamo
Each day time and the
world reminds
That as a black man
I can be on borrowed
Or expired time
A life expectancy
Many times less than
23
Hunted
Disavowed
Held down
The enemy
Is not always clearly
seen
Intricate plot twists
and attacks
Constant state of
prepared emergency
Who are the enemy?
Society
Economic and
political tyranny
Black, white, brown
and everything
Females
And those claim love
and sympathy
Survival
Is the only thing we
can focus on
Stealing ourselves
against this
Come one and all
Hell in the cell
living
Yet we beat the atrocities
Even though we remain
victimized by
Those that are
supposed to be
Our people
Our women
Our country
Our origin
We fight to the
bitter end
For we know at some
point it is coming
Through persecuted alleged
descriptions
Like
Toxic
Pimp
Need to be tamed
Scapegoat for most
things
Though we are few
Like the Spartans of
old
We fight against it
all
Girded in our
Strength
Honor
Resolve
With the attitude
Don’t tread on me at
all
Salute to the Men
That stand against
the world on their shoulders
Prisoner of
circumstance
And continue
Unapologetic-ally Living
