Image for the poem We Are Optimal

We Are Optimal

"Omg Look At Her Hair"  
That Was 10 Year Old Me Listening To The Voices Of Laughter & Taunts For Being Of
The African Decent.  
My Hair Wool As Cotton Crops  
My Eyes Telling Stories, Singing Songs,  
Yet Unbothered Like Quite Storms  
Shout-Out To  
The Flame Blue Eyes,  
Always "Watching" But Never Look.  
Curious As To How We Keep Our Skin So Tight & Vibrant.  
While Theirs Looks Like It Needs To Be Watered By A Fire Hydrant.  
We Are Optimal!  
& Since We Live In Hells Kitchen.  
I Figured Six Feet Under Must Not Be Shit!  
For Committing Racial Discrimination Murder.  
& They Can't Beat The Black Off Me,  
Cause So Much Melanin Resides In My Skin.  
So I Put My Hands Up & Surrender To The God Within.  
See White People Believe In "The Illusion Of Difference" They Need More Vitamin D & We Need More Financially. Yet Poverty Don't Make Us Equal.  
Our Skin Is Optimal!  
They Hatin On Us Like We Talked To God & The Decision For Us To Be This Divine & Precious Was  Optional.  
They Wanna Be Like Us  
Bumpin Our Music.  
Speaking Ebonics.  
Wearing Our Clothes.  
"I Love African-American People.  
If This Was The Slave Days, Gosh! I Would Have Helped Y'all Escape"  
Stoppppp It!  
With The Masquerade  
Getting Implants Every Where So Your Bodies Can Thicken Trying To Look Like Us Like The Shit's Okay.  
You Ill-Favored, Foul Disfigured, Appalling Knock Off!  
Your A Counterfeit. You Can't Steal A Diamond & Replace It With A Crystal. The Concept Is Clearly Copied Yet One Is Favored Over The Other & Coast A Higher Value.  & It's A Shame!...  
After Trying To Portray & Relinquish Our Exotic Skin. We Gotta Be Dope Fiends, Drug Dealer's & Educational Drop Out's. When Shit Don't Go As Planned.  
We Are Optimal!  
Possible!  
Because God Gives His Strongest Battles To The Soldiers Who Are Capable.  
Our Black Queen's?  
Yes! Our Black Queen's Are Optimal!  
Assets Shaped Like Brass Knuckles.  
A Punch In The Face Every Time Little Johnnie Wants To Date A Slave.  
Skin So Pivotal.  
Sucking Lungs Out Of Bodies Like A Unwanted Baby Occupying The Womb.  
So Fixating They All Angry Cause We Can Bask In The Sun Without Getting Burned. You Would Think They'd Get The Hint That Their Going To Hell Being Sun Burnt Is Only A Taste Of The Heat That's In-Store.  
Skin Kissed, Being Created With A Envious Glow So They Try To Beat Us To A Pulp. Mad That We Exist. April Ain't Just For Fools.  
White People Continually Feeling Subdued Because No Matter What They Do We Still Show Up & Our Presence In Their Eyes Is Down Right Crude... Stupid For Teaching The Plays Of Sports Like Football To Apes.  
Believing That We're Monkeys.  
You Can't Lock Us Up In A Cage.  
This Is Our Planet.  
No Longer The Black Panthers.  
Instead Black Bandits.  
You Wanna Be Like Us Huh?  
Well The Negro Plane Just Landed.  
Hop On & See If You Can Handle It.
