WHITE GUILT

They are faceless, and shameless

Looking down at the colored and blameless

White which profits from ancestors who pillaged

Now auditing those who aren’t so privileged

Lo, I didn’t know

But I read philosophy nouveaux

I didn’t know you see

So for mercy I plea

Do I deserve it no

To the darkest pits of hell, I should go

Making thee uncomfortable?

Find my diatribe on white insufferable?

I implore thee to internalize

These words that I journalize

To understand what it means to be white

For the crimes of history must be made right

The Nazi fascists

Whip cracking sadists

The exclusionary papists

America the Racist

How about white rapist?

A white washed culture

Culture appropriating like a vulture

How can we remove this vulgar ulcur?

Should I grab a lugar and shoot her?

But no, I must tip-toe

Or be put on death row

Because I’m not white

Therefore, not in the right

I’m mixed

in a system fixed

And you dear reader think I aught to get shot by some cop?

Oh I forgot I’m black an after thought

So what’s the difference if one more goes flop?

And leaks red

Lies there dead

How many more must be bled?
