whiteness is an intellectual
psychological virus
that justifies slavery with every breath stolen
and words within it
ethnicity the antidote
when police say caucasian
it is a lie that white people
came from the Caucasus Mountains
scared into associating with whiteness
rather than genealogy coming from Africa
country built by Africans
music that is love
culture and society we love
is inherently blackness

How are you?

black space ship and a white space ship
they leave earth
ravaged by environmental racism
they land on a new earth at the same time
as a gift
a thank you
energy transformation
people of white space ship
offer to sacrifice some as slaves
for 350 years
to give people in black space ship headstart
the people of black space ship
refuse kindly
stating,
“we are not evil and dissociative."

I know you
I know how you think
I know how you lust
I know how you envy
I know how you were created
I know why
It was not god or evolution
that made you
it was slavery that made you
whiteness
I know how you feel
I know how you dissociate
I know how to stop it
I know someday you will understand
why it had to be stopped
whiteness

hunting in the hood
wilderness of whiteness
tell your dog to stay inside
my boys are back in town
hunting yotes
keep your children inside
don’t worry about what you hear
outside
stay out of your yard
sneak peek
windows speak
yotes forgotten every year
an aging princess
in hunting season
bares her beauty
to the meadows
deer licked apples eaten
love has mercy
on severe promises
penetrated
hunting in the hood

all we are is seasoned revolutionaries
like a sun
even though the intentions
were to beat us down
cook us down
own us down
slowly and steadily
deplete our constitution
our bodies
minds and families
into something else
other
than what we were
where we were from
origins
bleached white
like slaves cotton laundry
quarters spilled onto fertile land
becoming many mansions
