The Convenience of White Supremacy
Poem For Racial Justice
You’re able to storm into government buildings
Wave your Confederate and Nazi Flags
Yell out “To The Republic for Which it Stands”
With your AR-15s that are the very reason
The blood of the Sandy Hook children are in your hands
You’re able to grow up and reach your American Dreams
Become a policeman, have many complaints against you
Even murder a human being with your knees
You are able to take off your masks even though scientists have told you repeatedly
It was against your own safety
You’re able to arrest black store owners when they called for help
In fact, you never even gave a damn about how they felt
These are the conveniences of White Supremacy
You’re able to call peaceful protesters who are against your ideals, your mortal enemies
You can wear your white outfits with your pointy hats
Burn a cross say “hallelujah” while hanging someone because the color of their skin is black
You were able take the people of color from their homes
Unwilling, unchallenged you brought them here in chains
Force them to work for you as you see your cotton fields grow
Because all you really cared about was that piece of paper you’ll gain
Fast forward years later, when you’re able to cheat your way to the office of Commander in Chief
I hope you know that your white supremacy is nothing to be proud of
This is not what your God wanted
You know, the one you praise from the heavens above?
Your discrimination for people of color is the virus
I mean, shit, you’re able to just sit there, post on Instagram about your life
And be okay with your white silence
While people are dying in our own soil from your violence
There will be a time when all of your nonsense WILL end
It will be the times you will have to comprehend
When justice and solidarity will never have to make amends again
