..And the Old Women Gathered (The Gospel Singers)
by Mari Evans
and the old women gathered
and sang His praises
standing
resolutely together
like supply sergeants who
have seen
everything
and are still
Regular Army: It
was fierce and
not melodic and
although we ran
the sound of it
stayed in our ears . . .

Please get this hate out of your heart….

Please get this hate out of your heart…
Hold up, this hate?
I’m not hateful….
How am I hateful when I’m tellin the truth?
Let’s be real….
The history, well it’s not that long ago….
It’s a remix in the present
For your information,
Facts taste like bitter, so unkind…
Sometimes I don’t have to be nice
About them…but I can be firm…
I can be stern…let my anger make your
Brain spin for a while…am I suppose to be
Happy about racism? Am I supposed to be
Cool about ableism? Fuck no….
So if you tell me get this hate out of my heart,
Oh darlin, you’re sadly mistaken….
I don’t hate, i point fingers at dehumanization….
That’s what I’m doin…
And if you can’t handle my raw,
What are you doin In my space?
Are you tryin to correct me?
Cos I have no hate in my soul…
I know what I see,
I ain’t blind
I didn’t choose to be in a delusion
I said what the fuck i said…
Do you gotta problem with me sayin
The harsh reality in our faces?
I suggest you stay ignorant….
Cos what is the phrase?
Ignorance is bliss….💯✊🏿©️ Kai C. 2-18-25
