Nascent poetic tribute to black history month...

crafted before onset when people of color

got acknowledged for twenty eight or nine days
depending if leap year occurred.

Though I yam Caucasian,

rightful to honor most bitter

racist genocidal crime,
nonetheless ovation qua
one non WASPish critter

buzzfeeds kickstarts poetic hitter,
viz quintessential significant contribution
vis a vis rubbish that doth litter
just pass over after me death
as posthumous Jew pitter,
patter one among anonymous wordsmith

(linkedin to Ashkenazi)

multitudinous Semitic peoples.

Many unknown dark skinned souls
cruelly abducted, enslaved, lynched...

wrenched, yanked, and zipped
out heart of darkness within
pristine jungles of Africa
bravely fought as non quitter
with ebony melanin to coon sitter,
this asthma feeble attempt

made as thoughtful, rueful, mindful literate

read courtesy sibling, parent,

guardian or baby sitter

reasonable rhyme aye adorn

rhythmically snapchat, tweet and twitter.

 

Homo Sapiens with Negroid color

who, despite being human bondage
managed to illuminate, embellish, adorn
worthy contributions to society,

though me Asian garden variety
American (though not so proud),
and civilization since time immemorial

hence, I wanna pay poetic homage

to persons gifted with melanin born

akin to diversity exemplifying gamut

analogous to Indian corn

debased brutally and forlorn

no matter raised in cornucopia horn

of plenty with rare serf tenderness

 

whipped by wicked task masters

from the crack of morn,

aye cannot fathom why

a great proportion of humanity

must struggle on scraps of subsistence

while yours truly with sixty plus shades

of Caucasian pigment, albeit servile
shamefully linked heritage viz

precarious, opprobrious, nefarious,...

Matthew Scott Harris sworn

vengeance against those perpetrators
whereat cultures, histories, languages...

eradicated courtesy genocide,

nevertheless heroic efforts

witnessed Underground Railroad

where a minority escaped,

being branded, manacled, tortured,
et cetera history as slaves an existence

until...pacified family dislocated

sans rent asunder, ripped and torn.

 

Once a proud family akin to Brady

bunch, now brutally, nasty

and short lived poorly destitute

(case in point) like Haiti -

once a nation extant with cultural finery

insidiously raped "Lady"

lacerated odiously robbing

unique peoples as owners didst slay

practically naked "Primates"

encaged like wild animals in zoos

culturally robbed while

abhorrently marched in ones and twos
shredded souls without shoes
(analogous to persecuted Jews)

of singular ambition to break shackles

though tightly fused

to life as they chose.

The above smattering examples of many peoples

UNFAIRLY subjected

to subservience and exempt

from enjoying the fruits of their labor.

 

January twelfth two thousand and ten

(original date this communique writ then

kept wedged where in no wise

bore visual witness

vis a vis near annihilation and destruction

of African, Haitian,

South American, et cetera nations

whereby countless/ nameless individuals

e’en the strongest Herculean type men

crushed by humungous slabs of

building facades practically

demolishing every creation
since this island and/or

sundry other nation settled, which

indigenous tribes sought safety

in any geologic den
seeking solace and salvation

from wrath of nature

 

by paying obeisance via oblation
perhaps giving credence to clear water
in tandem with rooster and hen
that laid a golden egg and chicken thing,

especially encroaching, jumpstarting, outsourcing

once noble savages affected violation
particularly when Europeans

foisted forfeiture of land

with primitive implement like pen
no matter that travesty, trickery, mockery,
et cetera wrought humiliation
pleading invaders to forsake

such actions that rent asunder

culture beseeched god when
these depraved brutish, nasty
and (shortish) Hobbesian simians
wantonly increased desecration.

The peoples of this dominion rose
from the ashes like the phoenix like bird
no mattered genetic pool underwent

white washing from scouring influx
from western thumping proselytizers,
which alien beliefs hard to swallow like curd
basically bribery (with lustrous trinkets)

ah those coveted legal tender.

 

Upon emancipation proclamation cessation

to sell men, women and for x amount of bucks
akin to the soundcloud winged fowl clucks

foisted/ forced the unpleasant alternative
(wanton slaughter) to be clearly heard,
yet within the very fiber of tropical

mangrove persons patiently lined up their ducks
and declared as one of the first semi sucks

esse full African American peoples

INDEPENDENCE to be the word,
whence adulation, elation, inspiration echoing
across ramshackle greensward.
