Pulling The White Card
Poem
It happens every day
These “suitors” and their “offers”
Aren’t offering anything
They are just complaining
Claiming life isn’t fair to them
Draining
Consuming
Demanding
Begging
Screaming
Opposing progress
Claiming that they are victims
That they must be given their demands
Even when they are irrational
Slavers
Exploitative
Torturing
They use any means to get their way
This is truly what Western Capitalism is
Rooted in racism
The exploiting of human bodies
Regardless of consequence
That’s why no one cares
When you are a Black woman with little to no protection
No one steps in
I have Earth Angels now
But many demons are STIL lurking in the wings
Trying to get their way
Demanding attention
Demanding action
Demanding commitment
Demanding as they please
Stealing
Chaos making
Abusing
Rewriting the truth
With false narratives
I don’t have to submit to evil
To tyrants
To bigots
To exploiters
To deviants
To anyone preying on me
I don’t have to submit to anyone
Or anything
I never will
