Black Lives Matters

Many are desires of my help… my pledge to stand with them…

for their cause… for issues that pale in comparison to my pain…

They wonder about my silence… they challenge my thoughts… or

dare to think them unworthy of their precious time…

I am as invisible as the wind… consumable as the air you breathe…

but not appreciated or welcomed … unless you thirst for my pain…

and you lust for my wealth…The value placed in this rich black essence…

I cannot be subdued…

Your hand did not create me… nor did your education mold me…

It is I who have taken you from the wilderness of life to civilization…

Yet you managed to turn truth into lies… and deception as a powerful reality…

An alternative to life’s truth…

You brewed this storm and see no way out… except I guide you…

I shall… Yes I will… but…

Love me first…

Sophocles
