Silence

Black people
Should stay silent
Here’s why…
If another black person gets shot,
Don’t March
Don’t post
Don’t pay taxes
Don’t buy from corporations…
Don’t say a word…not a FUCKIN THING….

You can boycott
Quietly….
Don’t open your mouth….
This kind of silence will lead
White supremacy confused…
Don’t say shit…
It will not grow their ego…

How many times
We as black people
Express our anger
That we demand the
System not to kill us….
We continue to beg, and plead
The white woman
The white man
Not to shoot us anymore?

Lots of times….

I heard somebody say
Silence is powerful,
Even if it’s awful…
That type of quiet will drive a
Enemy insane…

If only we have self respect
And dignity, within ourselves
As our black race being unify
And stay quiet, things might change
The system will crumble
If we get ourselves together,
We can do unthinkable….
It’s a chess move
Think about it….
Think about how we stand on it for good….
There’s a real discipline in all of this
If we can see a mess on the same page
Study it, use our brains to make a move….
And of course, there will be violence….
somebody is goin to beat the
So called authorities….

Do you think
Silence should be our option?
Cos cryin
Stompin
Marchin in the street
It’s feedin their ego….
Makin their heads way too big….
They love gettin attention….

It’s like you’re in a middle of a
Breakup, and you have to write a whole
Paragraph why your partner hurts you so
Bad, pourin your tears to make them feel bad
And somehow it doesn’t work….

Silence is key
Silence is better…

We black people
Don’t even practice
To be quiet when it comes to our
Tragedies…we get mad, we be like
Black Lives Matter all over the street
All loud and noisy
Still capitalism is gettin a paycheck
On every other Friday…..

Not realizin
White supremacy doesn’t give no fucks
About our pains…
It always been that way…

Nothin is goin to change
If we as black people
Practice our silence
Meanin not to fill their pockets up…
But we have to learn about
Self respect and dignity
For ourselves…for us…..
Also learnin to be on our own
Meanin don’t invite the other colonizers
Over in our space…

Though we do invite other races
Cos there’s so much Stockholm Syndromes
Goin on around in our melaninated nation…
That includes self hate….

Silence is needed…
Silence can be violent, too
Black people just think about it,
Please…
