H

born with prejudice

I was born with a name
But under the blue sheets
They could not hear my name
Amidst the stampede
Feared was my name
Amongst the masses
Unseen was my name
I say this in silence
Not in our existence
Are words I have spoken
But I do not want this,
Not yesterday's remains
So i will open my fist
Risking spill from my veins
Because it's just peace that I want
For my heart and mind
It's just peace
After all this time
It's just peace
With my family I can dine
In just peace
I have been pushed to the back of the line
For just peace
Accept my non-apology
For my pigmented skin
With it covered in modesty
And I will accept your discrimination
As your fear for impotency
And your perverted arousal for supremacy
