what is black?
is it us, our skin?
the (sin) it reeks of
that’s what they proclaim to us
but to us, what are we?
a sacred breed unkind to self
the hate is much,
it floods
it is in the genocide
the vile wording
the choice of reaction
we hate ourselves
caught between hatred and obscurity
we are scared to fight,
for our place on earth
for our existence
