He said he felt threatened with his weapon
That's why he killed; Forgiven
He said he felt his instincts shoot up,
Family behind him, A Protective Man He Was.
That's why he killed; 30 years to Life.

She says she's no racist
She says she loves all cultures
But knew no history.
She says she loves learning about others
but walked ahead of others
She loved no culture, she loved being accepted
She knew no History because she couldn't handle the truth
She couldn't risk looking bad.
But did nothing to make the others feel her words were true.
She did not acknowledge the power she held
She was waiting,
waiting,
waiting for others to assimilate
So her culture appropriation can no longer feel like a shame.
She walked into a room
She scanned for a friendly face
She saw many faces unlike her own
But she continued to scan for that one friendly face
No one looked inviting,
Because she looked nothing like them
No recognizing
No being included
No being Appreciated
No Support
No genuine joy
Just the majority and the smaller groups of minorities
Forgetting that we all are just Human, with history.
Faces All Around.
Looking down.
Down at the object created by man.
To Distract Man.
To Distract from Humanity.
Don't think like them.
Don't look like them.
Don't Be Like Them.
Be More than them.
DO More Than them.

Listen
I don't give a fuck what you look like
or what you were influenced to believe
I don't care about these outdated, overstated, underestimated, concepts.
Fuck all these differences we make up to help our grandiose self-image
Rather than actually making a change from inside
Rewind J Cole;
The only real change come from inside
Heard
Can no one understand
our experiences make us who we are, so let's listen to one another
Word by word,
Sound By Sound
Feel by Feel
Dilated pupils,
Watching color waves move by the energy exploding
Let's please just start creating better experiences for one another
Let's start doing more for others
Let's start learning more
Let's be open more.
Just like we would want for ourselves
I'm Tired of ignorance
and I am tired of being silent
and I'm tired of wiggas thinking that they're niggas
I'm tired of these color lines
I'm tired of the media
I'm Tired of America
Land of the free
Where the freedom seekers continue to live in fear.
Where is the freedom in that?
Blue people chasing, ready to take us away.
Only some of us that don't fit the quota.
It feels like a nightmare
But how do you wake up when you're awake
You become more shook than woke.
Just the other day,
A Sister was crying.
I asked if she was okay because that is what I'd like to be asked.
Begging that her son is under the influence of an evil man
A man with male dominance and superiority.
A Machiavellian Nightmare.
I told her to go to the school psychologist for assistance with his behavior.
What she said,
With her face all red and wet from tears
Forehead scrunching
Eyes dilated, heart pumping.
No No, I can't
I can't, you know what's going on with Muslims?
They won't trust me
They will think I'm bad because I'm Muslim
My son lies too, my husband lies,
They won't believe me,
I can't go, they won't believe me,
A Woman,
A Divorced Woman,
A Divorced Woman being Abused.
A Divorced Single-Mother Woman being Abused.
A Divorced Muslim Single Mother Woman Being Abused In Land Of The Free.
Please tell me, Where Is the Freedom In That.
How can you be free when held captive in fear.
With that fear, of being who you are.
When you've done nothing wrong but been born.
Can Someone Please Wake Up
And SPEAK THE FUCK UP.

Harry Truman Wasn't Wrong
He Just Spoke For Himself,
While Speaking about others.
America Is Built On Other's Fear,
America Was Built On Discouragement Of Others,
And an Unbeatable Determination To Get The Job Done;
To Integrate The Segregation to Become Human Nature
Redefining Our Tribes
Redefining the Caste System
Names and More names
Labels and More Labels
Freedom, Communist, Democracy, Dictatorship, Fascism
But it all means the same shit.
Just Arranged Differently.
Defined Differently.
Manipulated Differently.
I Volunteer As Tribute.
To Be Part Of the Solution.
America, Can You Please Help Me Understand
My "Love" For America?
