“Lesser”
“Great” Poetry — A New Trail Of Tears Installation
While being racist
And political
Attacking human rights
And being obstructionist
The far right can do and say
As they please
But if you’re Black
You’re censored harder than
The terrorists destroying democracy
You can be “right”
And call us “less” than
Setting the stage for more abuses
Through overt dog whistles
While simultaneously exalting
A “protected class”
Claiming there is no privilege
As the lives adjacent to White
Are considered “important”
All while telling Black people
We don’t matter
Simultaneously saying
“It’s not about race
You people lie and whine
About everything, snowflake”
These are the things they say
To our face
Us we suffer an die
In mass
Every day
From ethnic cleansing
No one cares! UN Human Rights
The USA Amnesty International USA
Doesn’t even know how many Black People
Are still living
In this country
Let alone how and why so many
Have passed away
Or remain in prison
Innocent, no charges, no court date, non violent charges, misdemeanors
Meanwhile insurgents are going on vacation
As they await trial for attempting a coup
To overthrow democracy
The hypocrisy is live streamed
Daily
24/7/365
To show other nations
How to do the same
As 2/3rds of the planet
Falls to authoritarian reign
But we are the ONLY ones still
Without legal protections
Yet sill told “we are equal”
As we lose rights and protections every day
No one even looking in
To see if we are surviving United Nations
Staggering
That other populations are celebrated
Commemorated
Receive funding
Have days of remembrances
Are supported
Appreciated
Welcomed
Protected
While after hundreds of years of suppression
In our own country
Black American Descendants of Enslavement
Continue as we always have
“Less” than
No matter the space we walk in U.S. Department of State
It’s 1.28.22 and my contract still remains un-honored
If I were a “White boy, a White man”
Like the senator screamed when he denied I had a right to exist
Then there would be no questions
His rights are always protected
Every other population can point to legislation
That protects their constitutional rights
As well as inalienable rights
Even those going through the immigration process
But Black America remains stateless
Though we are entitled to the rights we are born to
They continue to be unprotected UNESCO
Therefore usurped daily
In every way
While extremist leadership in government
Occupies America’s critical infrastructure
Black America along with vulnerable populations
Continue to be targeted for eradication
In plain sight daily
We are called crazy for reporting the atrocities
But we live them daily
Our entire lives
Every generation
Since Europeans first came to this land
Enslaving our ancestors already present
But most don’t even know
This history now called “CRT” is illegal
But in truth it’s just truth aka history
But now it’s illegal to speak of such things
But this isn’t a “holocaust”?
Interesting
You didn’t say that about the Rohingya Muslims
Nor do you say it about Ukraine
You don’t say that about Afghanistan
You didn’t even say it about No More in Ethiopia
Or Palestinians on their own soil
It’s interesting how politicians
Can pick and choose who’s lives mean something
Who’s lives don’t
Who’s lives can be experimented on
Who’s lives will be rewarded
What ever the scenario
Black life has no say in the stakes
We don’t even get the knowledge needed
To learn how to be a player in the game
Where stake holders get a seat at the table
To negotiate our fate
We are born to it daily
Scapegoated for the social engineering
Humiliated for becoming targets of such predation
Then attacked with precision to keep the right in control
Of the narrative
These are paramilitary tactics used against an ethnic population
On U.S. soil
Even though we are U.S. citizens using our 1st amendment right
To speak about the atrocities and violations
Our community experiences as a whole daily
Yet we are being tortured, enhanced or otherwise, and slaughtered
Even just for protesting
But this isn’t genocide? Human Rights Watch
Not when the target populations
Are those that have too much melanin
Or poverty
Or disability
Or non-binary
Or anything not on the eugenics echelon
Created by nazi’s from Operation Paperclip
But you claim this isn’t a holocaust
Though the planet knows
We’re experiencing apocalyptic conditions
So the genocide against us
Continues unabated
Whole clever dog whistles
Rooted in Colonialist ways
Go forth from the highest positions in the land
As those who hate Blackness
Are prioritized over our lives
The hate of the far right
Is more important than Black life
This from the top levels
Of government UN Women
As all three branches continue hamstrung
The top office has no concern President Joe Biden
For the reality of systemic oppression
“Back to normal” with a wicked smile on the face
Forget all those lives left suffering
“You used an unpopular campaign slogan”
Yelling just like that senator did when I was kid
All observing fall in line
They don’t want to be humiliated
Or lose favor
Or lose funding
Or lose influence
That’s the world we live in
One where tyrants rule with an iron fist and nukes
While the most vulnerable are life to fend for ourselves
But I never stopped questioning
Fighting back
Arguing my position
Which is why they keep pushing back
Against my right to fight for my own existence
SMH
But I’m supposed to accept this?
As my “lot in life”
Bow down to extremism and predation?
Boot lick while I remain silent about how I am being violated?
That’s never been me!
“Bow to no one!” Is how I was trained
So as you continue the campaign against my right to life
You should probably know
Your threats, attacks, abuses
Are triggering
They make me stand
They trigger my self defense mechanisms
You attack
I self defend
It’s how I’m trained
So the more you abuse
The stronger I get
Thanks for the help
Bet you didn’t think that would be the “collateral damage”
My eyes in the sky
My angels in the outfield
My friends in the deep
My people everywhere
Have my back
Ensuring we survive this terra forming
But telling the tale of what went on here
Is muddied by scrubbing
Ai, censorship, shadow bans, and muting
Propaganda, paramilitary computing
Every other population and special interest Speaker Pelosi
Prioritized over our lives and rights Congressional Black Caucus
While daily
We suffer and die
In mass
At apocalyptic rates
Still our own government does nothing
All because we elected a Black president
And said “Black Lives Matter”
Now we must die in a man made apocalypse?
And accept it?
Silently?
To save the lie of white supremacy
And keep mankind from evolving?
SMH
But I have the unstable mind?
Not those following such a ridiculous plan?
How could ANYONE want such things?
I would rather stand for equality
Than die with wealth, deviance, no accountability, crying about being a victim
I would rather maintain the courage of my convictions
Rather than giving in to deviance
For a chance at a lifestyle that is lavish
Sacrificing people along the way
Because that is what is expected
It’s not only disgusting
It’s not human
So why trivialize the conditions?
If you’re innocent that is
So where is the confusion?
Rushing in to save others
While simultaneously
Ignoring the propagandized, politicized, pathologized
Campaign from the right that
Stalks, attacks, harasses, suppresses, abuses, eradicates
Those who repeat the message
That Black life matters
While they attack democracy
Our lives crash and burn
No one cares Amnesty International
We’ve experienced this for hundreds of years UNICEF
But the worst violations
Of our inalienable rights
Get no acknowledgement at all The White House
As Slave Politics
Run every day life
We’re still living as we did
At the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Industrial Age
There are just more gadgets to keep us distracted
From starting an uprising
To fight for our freedom
We literally are fighting for the right to life
As we’re constantly told
“Race doesn’t matter”
Brainwashing
nazi idealism
Political propaganda
Militarism
Far right extremism
All dominate the U.S. government
Yet the idea that systemic oppression is real
Is illegal so to speak
With terrorists occupying critical spaces
At every level
Life for White people remains the same
Or gets way better even
As they continue to hoard the planet’s resources
To maintain the lie of white supremacy
For the marginalized
We are left to suffer and die
But it doesn’t even warrant an honorable mention
During a weather report
Which by the way
Gets stranger by the day
Because one things for sure
2 things for certain
The U.S. continues to deny systemic oppression
Like it denies climate change
While the planet continues to crash and burn
It’s 1.28
2022 AD
The United States government still denies me
Like it denies climate change
There is never a consequence
For the violation of human rights
Other populations are used to abuse us
It’s all done in broad day light
We’re supposed to accept being treated like terrorists
Simply because we are fighting for our right
To exist
But no one cares!
Democracy where??? Library of Congress
My name is Danielle Diew Coleman
Daughter of David Coleman
Both of us former paramilitary operatives
Both of us sentenced to enslavement
Both of us targeted for having big brains, great strength, and fast healing
“I’ll turn you into a cash cow” I was told at 4 years old
When my handler pimped me out like a grown woman to grown men
No consequences
The abuse and enslavement has never ended
But I’m the one “unstable” for talking about it
SMH
I’m glad I never became the kind of entity
That could minimize such atrocities
I maintained my humanity
I am so thankful for that!
My father and I oppressed and tagged
In similar fashion
Controlled and dominated by the same hands
Both of us labeled a “threat” for knowing certain things
Even for having a clearance
Though we never were able to reject it
Yet we’re held accountable for the “feelings” of the bigots abusing us
While our actual inalienable rights are ignored
Treating us worst than terrorists
Though we fight for the country every day
Putting democracy first
We never broke our oath
Or failed to complete a mission
Instead of paying us what we are owed, honoring our contract, providing
As we are always told would happen
We are denied, blamed, minimized
So that every accomplishment goes to a white person
Every failure belonging to someone else becoming our stigma
Psychological operations used to suppress us
Just for existing with certain knowledge
Use us as slaves then discard us when we fight the violations
But these violations of our rights don’t deserve attention
Because we used an “unpopular political slogan”
WTF
SMH
DISGUSTING!
Our lives are kept “just above poverty level”
My handlers always used to say
“This is above poverty”
My son asks
Wow ain’t America Great?
But no one cares
My father died never seeing a day of justice
Just like my mother did
Alone, locked away in home, not able to access the medical care they needed
Just like the 1st Black President’s mother did
All our prophets die in eerie fashion
Our houses of worship shot up like target practice
Targeted for how we think and speak and present
State sanctioned killings
In vast numbers
Most aren’t even captured in demographics
We’re eradicated in broad day light
Even our own people can’t escape the cognitive dissonance
But we’re supposed to accept it
As they criminalize, pathologize, propagandize, and commodify
Our mass suffering while we are being slaughtered to death
SMH
But we’re wrong for drawing attention to it
People complain that it takes too long to talk about it
“I’m sick of hearing about it”
People say
But I’m sick of living it!
You have no problem with it happening
Only a problem with complaining about it
But you say you’re not sick?
SMH
That’s what “superiority” looks like?
What are you up against?
Is there a gun to your kids head?
We live it daily
Not by our own hands
But extremists in government
NO ONE CARES! Vice President Kamala Harris
Things have to change!
Human rights are not a negotiation!
I promised my Dad I wouldn’t die before
Telling his story as best as I can
It’s not easy to talk about such things
I hardly ever even got to see him
My handler interfered with our relationship
But I don’t break promises
So I honor the promise I made
Wondering what truly became of him
Because his life was snuffed out
Like his spirit was by special forces
Like mine was when I was conscripted
Yet never receive a day of justice
We don’t even receive the opportunity to discuss it
Even for turning our pain into art
By creating works that depict it
We are censored, muted, shadow banned, abused, stalked, cyber stalked
Attacked and bullied
Because we tell the truth
And the abusers don’t want to be revealed
We are forced by society
To prioritize their feelings about being held to accountability
Over our ability to survive
Or to access justice
Because we said Black Lives Matter
And MeToo
Now we must die?
But racism doesn’t matter?
Are we supposed to be fools?
We all knew this would happen
We fight for our protections
Because it is our right
This is not a negotiation
