Black People
by (Pinta) Alicil Rochester
BLack People, Black People
What's Up
Heads Up, wake Up, Stand-up
Something is about to erupt
This has developed into a cover-up
Is this a set up for the under developed why no check-up
If we are not wise there will be a pile-up
Back up from the line-up
They may think we are over developed
Maybe it's a plan to clean-up
We must be abrupt, interrupt
and demand a medical checkup
This is corrupt, we must speak up and follow up
Don't forget how many are in the lock-up, so again, wise up

Author's Note
When the health disparites started during the very early stage of Covid 19, my heart sanked to see how many Black people were disproportionately affected, so many were in line-ups, many dying, and we knew little about Covid, so I wtote this almost two years ago. Thought I would share it here

Good on You Pinta.
If poet's don't say what they see as they see...they no poets imho.
Job.
