Over talk
Every time we bring a topic up
Racism,
You over talk…
You over talk and we can’t get a word
Out cos
You feel uncomfortable
You stutter a little bit sometimes
You get all defensive
Like you need to shut the conversation
Down for good…
Also
You interrupt our discussion
Cos somehow
You feel attack…
You offended with your entitlement
And your microaggression…
Some of us do what you say
Just cos you don’t wanna feel guilty…
Like you snatched our voices
And your mic drop
You think you did somethin..
People like you are ignorant
People like you don’t even acknowledge the term
Woke yet you do know
You just don’t want people to be aware of
The truth about everythin…
And your comfort is havin people asleep
Forever…
Especially black people..
Givin us sleepin pills by you
Hushin us tellin us to shut the fuck up..
To me, that triggers my bones
You even tell the high ups
To destroy our platforms
And zip our mouths…
This is power we’ve been talkin about
Systematic power to quiet us about
The wrong doings against the black race…
Like we can’t discuss how dehumanization of
Black people and other races have repeat itself
Over and over and over like a scratchy broken record…
Are you goin to over talk my poems?
Are you goin to get me off the stage?
Are you goin to pressure me to edit my words or
Erase everythin that is black?
So you and your so called good ol fellows can be
Ok..
You ain’t goin to over talk a poetess…
Not today
Not ever…..
You ain’t over talk anybody
And make them be silent…
It’s never fair…
I don’t care how you feel..
You can feel mad
You can turn red all you want
But
When it comes to race
And it’s in our face
We need to speak louder and clearer
And we should strike back violently
Cos how many times
We’ve been abused by the oppressors” system…
They speak violence
I keep sayin it over and over
And still
We are continuin to be a punk
To defend ourselves against the
Oppression..
Which is sad…💯✊🏿 ©️ Kai C. 3-13-23

Sometimes
Black power
Gets on people’s nerves,
I get that,
All that talk….
Sometimes
It goes overboard…
Especially
When it’s no action
It’s only online….
I understand….
We’re like
Why are black people ain’t
Doin anythin?
They are…
They’re not on
YouTube or Instagram
That much…
We don’t see them
On the mainstream media….
They’re out there
Doin the work
Helpin in their community….
We don’t see them often….
And it’s possible that
The fbi is followin them
Around cos
You know how white supremacy
Gets down,
They will try to stop the positive
Black unity..
Might be Allies involve a movement
Cos
You never know
And it’s predictable
At the same time…
Knowin history keeps repeatin
Itself…
Ya
Black power
Is over the top
And a lot of our people
Have use it for clout
Even the colonizers
Use it to draw more of our people
In for the money for an attention…
It’s like black power
Doesn’t belong to
Black people
Anymore..
It’s been disappeared
For a while now…
All cos
We invite everyone
To fight against the system
And we feel like we can’t fight by
Ourselves…
Some of us
Asked why we can stand up
Stand our ground
Against the system
By ourselves?
We keep sayin we have no friends…
Yet we have no respect and dignity
For our melaninated race….💯✊🏿 ©️ Kai C. 4-13-23
