What do you like to learn?

What do you like to learn?
Black history from books
Or twerk?
Which one?
Pick one?
Black history or twerk?
I think most would go for a twerk…
Cos nobody wants to read….
Nobody has a desire….
Some say none…
Maybe others say they don’t care….

This is why
Black people turn the other cheek
And prefer dancin
Cos life is so much easier….
They don’t wanna hear nor talk
About racism
Yet trauma is still repeatin itself…
Don’t wanna google
Don’t wanna have this hard discussion
About being black in America
Being black in the world
With your children….

You know they have questions…

Why twerkin?
Why not pick up a book
Instead of shakin your ass?
Don’t need to twerk on TikTok
But hey it’s on you….

Still today
On repeat
Teach me how to pop my tail
Let’s do a Megan thee stallion challenge
I don’t wanna learn about slavery
I don’t wanna talk about white supremacy….
No books
No discussion
Let’s have fun
Black people
Be dancin
Makin up their styles
Not realizin
We’re at war…..

What do you wanna learn?
I wanna learn how to drop it low
Instead of goin to the library
I wanna twirl my butt to sexy red
I don’t care about Sara Baartman…

Twerkin is the winner,
Black history lost its battle….

And all we still hear is
What’s happenin….

Not a whole lot of
Critical thinkin around
Just ignorance

It’s too sad…😢✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 4-21-24
