Do I have to consider white people feelings
If I wrote poems about the truth?
If I wrote poems about our black history?
If I wrote poems about racism?
I mean I do write them a lot
And I discarded their feelings….
I don’t hate, I just study
I’ve observed….
If my poems were published,
In a book at a bookstore
I might get banned….
I might get banned immediately….

Nobody wants to hear about
Black power….
I’m not an activist
I advocate for my people
Cos somebody always needs a voice….
I understand the pain
The anger
Even when I don’t have a lot of
Experiences on white supremacy
But i can see myself fillin in our own shoes….
You see racism is somethin to talk about…
It’s an issue and I will never stop puttin my pen down
And share just cos of white feelings….
I don’t wanna be told not to express myself
Cos of white guilt…
I don’t wanna edit my words to make white people
Feel comfortable….

If I have to write about what’s real from the soul,
I will write it,
I will not feel horrible,
I will not apologize
Cos the thing is, look at the world right now
Look at Africa fightin against the colonial masters
Look at the White House and nazi guy…
Black people are still wakin
They’re already wakin up
You see my poems got everybody backin up
And said wait a minute this isn’t kai….

I’m still kai
With an edge….
And i happen to write what’s goin on in the world
I don’t have to write about love and peace
I don’t have to be romantic
Sometimes
There’s more important than lovey dovey couples…
I’m talkin politics
I’m talkin black people
I’m talkin racism
Sometimes I’m talkin disability
right now
I’ve been comin up scenarios in my head
Dealin with difficult topics….
Like racism….
To me
Racism is so easy to speak on paper
Cos it’s simple to see in my face
It’s a problem, people said it doesn’t exist…
Honey it does….
That’s why I watch YouTube videos
And go look at the news
Only to keep me learnin more
I should continue to read
Though I write more to educate others out there
Who need a voice…
Who need a reason
Who need an understandin….
Yes white supremacy makes us angry
Yes it’s negative
But we must learn as we go…
Neely Fuller Jr.
Has once said
“I’m still learning.”
May his soul rest in peace….
For me, I thought poetry is the only way to fight back
If black people loves to read…
Yes it may not be weaponize to shut the system down…
I just hope it reaches people from afar
Meanin I am gettin my messages across
Without any payment….
Just with a heart
I want my people to be smart….
I want my people to have that genuine spark
It’s no lies, no fables…
I don’t have to quiet my voice for some white fragility
Are you kiddin me?
Why would I?
I’m a black woman
In a motorize wheelchair
And I don’t need to stop makin noises on paper
Cos of white tears fallin like ice drops on the ground….
It’s funny that I get called racist
Or give my words hate speech
When i become blunt of facts
That nobody wanna hear….
I’m not accountable to coddle
To sugar coat the whiteness….,
Why would I want to sugar coat
The construct that white folks created?
It’s silly….✊🏿💯©️ Kai C. 4-9-25
