Living Poetry...Black Man: Welcome to the Terrordome

 




Black Man: Welcome to the Terrordome



hunted

haunted

by extraneous applications

apparitions of enemies

long gone


past

present

future


He remains

Public Enemy Number One


church going

employment maintaining

law abiding citizen


still gets the benefits of


shot and killed

fitting the description

unlawful accusation and incarceration


as you tell us

the next fad and cliché

that the dream can be attained


but wait


we are doing the correct things

backbones, pillars and lights

in society


still having to be wary of

each traffic stop

entering your home

going for a jog


It was just so much easier for them

when they just saw us


killing and robbing

for chicken sandwiches, trinkets and bobbles

they could openly continue to scream


see there

see what I mean

how they act


in order to administer

open hatred dipped in

orchestrated alleged equalities


their fear no longer remains

it now screams


black men

are no longer the enemy

but the end of their living


the cataclysm they fear

is already here

it is

We
