If I pass away and become famous
Like to the next level famous
World known
I want my legacy to be
Well protected
And not tarnished....
I want my family to carry
My legacy my poetic license
Everywhere they go
Don't give it to anybody
Don't let them burn it
Don't let them plagiarize
Cos there are the things
I said on paper are true
It will make people uncomfortable
And I don't give a damn about
Somebody's feelings
Even i got white friends....
Don't erase my messages
Please
Don't erase my black power
My stories
There are someone out there who adore
Poetry adore words and need some encouragement
To think, to have a critical thinkin
To be inspired.....
My poems
Are about love
About black people
About ableism
About white supremacy
About life in general....
Let the world heal
Let the parts of the world
Change its heart
Let them choose
Let them be ignorant
But please
Keep my poetry in a safe
Locked in a room of our home....
Famous or not,
Keep my legacy alive
Never let a writin publishin company
Do a wicked business
Never trust an editor
It's not always about the bag....
Don't let them trick you
Into givin up my masterpieces
My timeless creation
Into their foolishness
Cos
We will never know....
I wanted to be a famous poet
In the world I wanted to become a poet laureate
And write for people who have no voices and lost their
Voices....kind of like a ghost writer in a way
But not really.....
If I drift off from this Mother Earth,
If I ever go and be gone forever,
Keep my poems alive
Can you do that for me?
Please?

I want my voice to be heard even after death. You know how people make money off someone’s death and that can be very wicked. I don’t want that situation. People are greedy and they wanted to control the access. For Michael Jackson after his passing, there are still people who are taking advantage of his legacy. And I heard that white man who is making profits off the biopic in the instagram comment section. It does make me think twice because I forgot Mike is still being used. I don’t know if I wanted to see this movie or not. There’s one man who worked with mj before can’t be trusted. He’s a white guy. I need to google him. I forgot his name. There is so much racism in that situation that we’re not aware of. And this is why I write this piece. I’m sure there are a lot of wicked book publishing companies will take advantage of authors even after they passed. There are similar situations as Michael but different. I hope you know where I am getting at.
