“Little African Man”



“Little African man” “Hey,
Why don’t you go back to where
you’ve come from? This land,
ain’t yours n’ shall never be,
so what’s your grand plan? “

“Jungle Bunny” I’ve heard,
Why are you so brutishly wild?
Carryin’ on with all that savagery
n’ hate, seems so little it’ll take
to get you so riled...”

A vile “Bush Monkey”
That’s what ‘THEY’ purportedly
see...Odd, given the myriad of colors
awash in this Red, White, n’ Blue SEA...

Humanity...it sounds to me so much
like a foreign concept when it’s
‘cherry picked’ from the opposite
side of that same tree...

“Little African man,
sorry, but I don’t get it,
just can’t understand
Why won’t you go back to where
you came from? “Go, Scram! “

Why? Well, It’s very simple for me
I may be Black, definitely of African
decent (as are we ALL) yet I am born
American of these United States
n’ whether anyone despises it or
not, I shall not flee... regardless
of that ceaseless disease called HATE...
