……Black immigrants told to stay away from black Americans, don’t want you to start to care again, I guess we’ve been corrupted, but we’ve been lied to, enslaved and falsely imprisoned, we bear the internal scars of their incisions, our minds bear the weight of their religions, are we two mirrors facing one another, one wears a cross and the other a head cover, light skinned men in kufis has slipped you many roofies, when they say nigga during our rape they mean you to, they just decided to indoctrinate you into the hate they spew, I know you grew, because they did the same things to you, just know that we are an extension of you, what do you think they say about you. Is all of Africa in a sunken place, like so many of our soldiers, what happens when it’s time to dispose of their junkyard of fleshy robots, with whip marks and torn clothes; they seem to be able to push a button, and we become froze.

Incredibly powerful, I come from a town where no one of any colour were ever different or identified so. How the world can change so fast in just a generation. I now live it Italy and it's different. 🌹
It’s the history of this country that can be so unbalancing to people… before you realize it, it possesses your spirit and takes you over, America is like being in prison, you’re forced to pick sides.
