Contradictions And Hypocrisy

A New Trail Of Tears Poem

Assimilate

No entry

Assimilate

No “wokeness”

Assimilate

Nothing but Whiteness

Assimilate

You are not welcome

Assimilate

Welcome victims

Assimilate

If we see you as innocent

Assimilate

You’re cursed

Assimilate

You’re a drama magnet

Assimilate

It’s funny when you complain

Assimilate

Life is just a game

Assimilate

Your tears don’t matter

Assimilate

Neither does your breath

Assimilate

Stop complaining

Assimilate

Stop speaking

Assimilate

Stop moving

Assimilate

Stop being

Assimilate

We have real problems

Assimilate

You are fake

Assimilate

You don’t belong here

Assimilate

You don’t belong anywhere

Assimilate

We are privileged so we matter

Assimilate

We have the money so we are so much smarter

Assimilate

The message is loud and clear

Assimilate

You can’t say what we say

Assimilate

We can say defund but you can’t

Assimilate

We can transfer wealth

Assimilate

But you can’t even come near the theory of how it operates

Assimilate

The matrix is real

Assimilate

But you can’t speak the truth about it

Assimilate

The matrix is white supremacy

Assimilate

Race is a construct within it

Assimilate

We can make mistakes

Assimilate

You can’t

Assimilate

Power is in our hands

Assimilate

How dare you think you can

Assimilate

You simply don’t understand

Assimilate

Let me tell you about being human

Assimilate

Your soul is not like the soul of other humans

Assimilate

When you speak about race you are divisive

Assimilate

We aren’t like you because we are enlightened

Assimilate

We are abundant because we are entitled

Assimilate

You lack because you don’t matter

Assimilate

We created civilization

Assimilate

Truth, facts, history, evidence isn’t real

Assimilate

Race doesn’t matter

Assimilate

All lives matter

Assimilate

We are superior

Assimilate

We are civilized

Assimilate

You are so uncivilized

Assimilate

We have culture

Assimilate

We have history

Assimilate

We have tradition

Assimilate

Your culture ruins everything

Assimilate

We have the power

Assimilate

We have the weapons

Assimilate

You better not have weapons

Assimilate

You people always have weapons

Assimilate

We make drugs

Assimilate

We kill with them

Assimilate

You people always are on drugs

Assimilate

You kill everything

Assimilate

When we kill it’s different

Assimilate

When we war it’s different

Assimilate

When we rape it’s different

Assimilate

I see heart not race

Assimilate

It’s all in how you are raised

Assimilate

Our children matter

Assimilate

Our children are different

Assimilate

We need more children

Assimilate

Stop having kids

Assimilate

No abortion

Assimilate

Why didn’t you have an abortion

Assimilate

Consider adoption

Assimilate

Stop having sex and you won’t get pregnant

Assimilate

If you weren't promiscuous bad things wouldn’t happen

Assimilate

I don’t believe you were raped

Assimilate

You’re not a victim you’re manipulative

Assimilate

You’re the one who is racist

Assimilate

You’re not being bullied you are the bully

Assimilate

If you could keep a man you wouldn’t be poor then

Assimilate

Focus on yourself not a relationship

Assimilate

If you don’t have a relationship you can’t be “right” then

Assimilate

We have property to take care of

Assimilate

No you can’t have a loan thanks to redlining

Assimilate

We create businesses

Assimilate

Our families have worked this land hundreds of years

Assimilate

Our ancestors fought in wars to protect this dream

Assimilate

You need to pay for what you have been given

Assimilate

We express our patriotism so we are true Americans

Assimilate

You can’t vote but you can join the military at 17

Assimilate

You can’t have a drivers license because that is a privilege

Assimilate

Privilege is fake

Assimilate

You can’t prosecute me because of my privilege

Assimilate

I can kill with impunity

Assimilate

Stop resisting

Assimilate

No one ever handed me anything

Assimilate

The entire western world is designed for me

Assimilate

I work hard for what I get

Assimilate

No you can’t have equal pay

Assimilate

There is no such thing as racism

Assimilate

There is a storm coming but you can’t evacuate

Assimilate

We are protecting our own interests

Assimilate

What’s so bad about enslavement

Assimilate

Hardship is good for learning

Assimilate

Our families deserve to live in peace

Assimilate

God cursed you that’s why you are suffering

Assimilate

God cursed you that’s why you have melanin

Assimilate

Our lives are important

Assimilate

Our feelings are important

Assimilate

Me first

Assimilate

Us first

Assimilate

If I can’t have it no one will

Assimilate

“Stop it”

There I did something

Assimilate

You’re in the way

Assimilate

You chose an unpopular thing to say

Assimilate

Don’t traffic anything

Assimilate

You take up too much space

Assimilate

You’re too loud

Assimilate

We target you because ……

(Insert any racist trop here)

Assimilate

You are creating traffic

Assimilate

You can’t measure up to our standards

Assimilate

Or die

But you’ll never be welcome

…

So how do we assimilate then?

…

“Why won’t they assimilate”?

Perhaps because we never had the chance

Like those who are welcomed in

Like those who have the same skin

Like those who are kin

Those who “look” like your friends

Those who “look” like “good” people

“Fine” people

Those we lack melanin

Those who don’t get triggered by racism

(Why would they

They aren’t the ones being targeted for the torture of it)

Those who can assimilate will

Those who can’t

Can’t

It’s not that easy for dark people

To bleach enough skin to be white enough to pass

The rigorous whiteness tests

Also known as eugenics means testing

Should we therefore be shot in the street

Armed or unarmed

Simply minding our own business

Laying in our own beds

Driving to our job interview

Or fighting to break free from chains

Should we be raped because we are vulnerable

Or forced to breed so our children can be sold to the highest bed

Or bid

Should we be subjected to pedophilia, brutality, torture, imprisonment

Because our melanin makes some people nervous?

But pedophiles are “good men”

Should we die at the hands of doctors and nurses

“Triaging” according to racism

Or law enforcement conducting ethnic cleansing? President Joe Biden

It’s a valid question

Or should we assimilate

Meaning

Accept the gaslight and support white supremacy

Which is eradicating us at apocalyptic rates

Intentionally

In no way is it a mistake

The current variables at play

Were designed by the racist elite

Perhaps if I didn’t know some of the engineers

Forced to endure their enslavement

Perhaps I too would succumb to the gaslighting

Simply because of the way torture impacts the brain

But I can’t

I’m left with the truth

Therefore the truth is what I speak

The truth is not a debate

Only psychopaths think that way

The truth is a fact

But I see why for the unethical this is confusing

The truth remain true even if people disbelieve

So there is ALWAYS a bigger bully on the playground

The theater of the world stage is now witnessing

The gather together of the world’s most predatory

The most powerful garnering the nuclear weapons

Only a fool stays out in the rain

If the truth rains

Choose what kind of fool you are

But as a warning remember this

Embracing hate will turn you into a cautionary tale

You will be the stereotype that proves

Certain thoughts, actions, and ways of relating

Always leads to the same outcome

Hence the world’s current state

Should those of use who reject such hatred

Be left to die at borders

Or alone in our homes needing care

Starving

Poisoned

Attacked

Threatened

Freezing in subzero conditions with infants

Or burning hungry, thirsty, wounded

Fleeing war in the dessert sands

Should we “die” as I have been told so often

Because our melanin means we are nothing

To those with all the weapons doing the bullying

I wonder because

When another big gun has their finger on the button

And they look like you

Do you feel the same kind of terror you do

When you witness melanin simply living and existing

Should we be hunted by horseback

Whipped in the 21st century

Treated like animals for trying to gain support

Or be turned away for help simply for being an asylee

Or locked in cages, raped, trafficked, impregnated

Children sold, adopted, placed in foster care, separated

Should we die on hospital beds

Because the amount of melanin in our skin

Even as of this very moment

Globally

Racism is STILL called “fake”

Massive amounts of money spent

To support the propaganda machine

The war machine

The industrial military complex

But none for me

I still can’t get paid for any of the work I did!

I’m simply told

“Race doesn’t matter” and

“We can’t identify your identity”

Literally

I still can’t even get a penny of COVID relief

Or Social Security!

As leadership says and does the oddest things

But never anything needed to provide protections

For anyone other than someone with white skin

Or close enough to pass

If the numbers need tweaking

I still can’t get paid for WORK!!!

But

“She exists to serve at my leisure” President Joe Biden

So am I a slave? Supreme Court of the US United Nations

If I’m not then where are my education credentials then?

Where is the medical care I need?

It doesn’t matter what level we function at in society

How much education we receive

How much money we earn

Where we live

Where we are going

Where we have been

White supremacy is the standard we are forced to obey

The expectation is that we must “assimilate”

But if the amount of melanin in our skin

Makes us automatically a “threat” to Karen

Her husband

Their children

The future

The planet

Even space

Then how do we “assimilate”

If it’s not possible

Particularly if it is in violation of our human rights

Which are inalienable

Not a privilege to be revoked for any reason

The future belongs to ALL LIFE

Yet “The West” attempts to secure it

For those who can “assimilate”

So what is left for us then?

The answer is always nothing

But in this extermination we are expected to “obey”?

I guess some people never learned how to share in kindergarten

We live on a whole planet

Yet all life is concentrated within large cities

Why

That’s how the few control everything

All resources

All wealth

All information

Should we be forced to accept devolution

Because xenophobes can’t face their own cognitive dissonance

Or because psychopaths want to prey

No we shouldn’t

But it happens 24/7

365

In every corner of every nation

Should we be censored, cancelled, and imprisoned

Because we voice our dissent

From the established regime of white supremacy

Or should we as human beings

Be recognized

Protected

Supported

Given provisions within our destitution

Empathy for our trauma and suffering

Compassion as a fellow humans

Legislation and enforcement of it’s protections

In the manner the way the world embraces Ukraine

In their time of GREAT need!

What is happening there is horrific!

It will NEVER be forgotten

Somehow we must all be acknowledged

Not left behind in the shadows!

The world stands with Ukraine

As it should

No one needs WW3!

The world stood with Black Americans in May of 2020

As it should

We simply were saying “stop killing us” but for us

Ethnic cleansing is never ending

The world stands with ALL refugees

Fleeing any HORRIFIC situation

BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN!

To recognize life

How precious it is

To see it everywhere

At all times

In all things

And come to understand the power that brought it into being

This is what the human experience is

Learning, growing, living

To expand the consciousness

That we can know more and more

Improving in the areas where we have failed

So why is it

That only a small percentage of people fail to comprehend this

Yet still hold all the power, wealthy, resources

And make all the decisions

Tilting the scales in the opposite direction of life

What it means to be human

And our whole purpose for existing

OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN?!

Every child is born naked

As you decay in death

Your body returns to the same state

It’s amazing that if “hardship” teaches

Why can’t some people seem to grasp

The most basic concepts?????

You can’t take it with you

But you can share it all while you live

WHEN ALL LIFE MATTERS THE WAY “ALL LIVES MATTER” THEN THE WORLD CAN SAY IT HAS REACHED A SUPERIOR STATUS OF ADVANCEMENT

Until then the white supremacy civilization still we are all trapped in

Can’t even rank above zero

The whole world is tired of it!
