Which one are you focus on?

Which one are you focus on?
P. Diddy arrested or
Another black man lynched?
Which one are you more focused on?
Which one are you more concerned about?
Cos after all, we’re in our own distraction….
Did someone created a distraction for us?
For us to look the other way?
Say go look at another black man who’s doin stupid stuff
Go mock him, laugh at him
Don’t worry about this strange fruit in 2024…
Don’t get angry…turn your head to the greener side….
But to ignore what racism did is another way of dehumanizin
Another black body on a tree…..sayin it’s a foul play….
Doesn’t seem like it…
And yet we as black people
As a race
We’re beyond sick to the point that we wanna mock
Our own brotha who looks like us….yes he was in the wrong….
What about other brothas and sistahs on trees?
We should be allergic to the branches and leaves by now
Cos of trauma that our ancestors have to endure….
It still ongoin…it wasn’t that long ago…
That chokehold legacy never dies…
Always remember that….
Rope around that melaninated neck
Swingin dead black body left and right
In the wind or without wind…
We should be allergic to the polls, bridges
Maybe wires….
Honestly, we’re not that sensitive anymore
Sensitive to death of our people is not longer
Linger cos we’re so used it….
That’s what was wrong with us….
We’re used to the death of our people
We used all our tears
Our anger fades
We move on….
Like there’s nothin we can do…
We’re scared to fight back….
We keep forgivin cos you know Jesus said so…
Black race has a serious mental illness
That’s too difficult to heal….
The saddest part is that we don’t talk about mental health
In our community….
We wanna be entertained…
That’s how white supremacy trained us
To do….
I don’t know who lynched a young black man
But that chokehold legacy,
That down low chokehold legacy
It’s still alive
It used to be out and open
Now it’s a secret…..
And as my friend said black people don’t take things
Too seriously…
We keep playin
We keep dancin
We’re not payin attention
At all…it’s really sad…
It’s the truth….
Which one we’re more focused on?
P. Diddy
Not the lynchin in 2024…😢💔✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 9-17-24
