Post Traumatic
Post Traumatic forgive me if I seem a bit dramatic. I can't breathe but I am not asthmatic. I have someone knee pressing down on my neck. Kill on sight just because my skin is not white so my wrongful death is automatic.
Don't get me wrong this is not a black mans anger. It's just I am aware if a police officer is in fear for their life. That's a black man's danger. Police brutality is far from a black man's stranger. They say I am not a man. They call me a thug, or a black gang banger.
Why you roll your window up when I walk by? Tuck your pocket book in, yet you have nothing to fear from me, but I could see the fear in your eyes. Hold on you don't have to answer that question. You and I both know why. I'm black in America living a white man's lie. Shot in the streets onlookers gawking as I bleed out and die, on the late night news, they will watch a black mom cry.
I'm not being political, just being analytical. racism has not died out. It's reaching it's pinnacle. For me to be a black man in America my life condition is critical. If I drive a luxury car police assume I am criminal. I can see the silent hatred in their eyes, yet the message is loud and clear although it's subliminal.
Well all those blacks do is march and complain? I can understand that coming from the mouth of those, that never felt a black man's pain. Yes we had a black President they say. Yet he had a white mother so that proves, not a dam thing changed. And if you can't see where I am coming from, you need a God dam brain.
Now they want to remove the history and atrocities of slavery, from the history books, to hide America shame.
Everytime things go wrong in this country. I am white America scapegoat, the white man's blame. Black lives matter, how many bullets does it take, to make a black life shatter. On these grimy side walks I have seen black thoughts scatter. Gunshots leaves a back man's soul torn and tattered.
Yes I live a life that's post traumatic. I'm black in America in fear for my life. Ask me if my trauma is real, or I am being to dramatic.

Those are some power words, my Hebrew king, I have traveled all over the globe, including several African countries and from interacting with people from all walks of life rather religion, gender, or lifestyles and in my profession. I would say half of the world inspire, bring, or want peace.
In addition, when you are of blended generations and several lineages' blood circulating in my vines, I try to maintain the boundaries of racism, disparity, of disunity of the past, yet, I will always share of my spiritual incantations, to better any disadvantage race or religion that has been dethrone by systematic pressure or by failing social economics standards, henceforth, in that process, to uplift any intellect who is #AWOKE to prepare his/her presence for the future.
I cannot speak on the journey of an African American King, who have walked his own path, who is wise behold his crown, however, what I can say is, I stand on my own truth and with merit in my convictions and if those are yours stated on your sacred canvas above, then make poetic salutations work in your favor, tell us in your divine manner how do we overcome, how do men form that everlasting bond of brotherhood to assist in regrouping and bringing our money to build foundation(s) from our hands, from the union of our minds
Show empty minds and heavy hearts how to reach the potential of their greatness, instill the past to show us, them how far we've come, skin color is only a hue, we are more marginalized in our worth, if you study African American history, or contributions has assisted as any race in building this country and some of those patents are used here today.
Therefore, I really admire the truth of your words and the engagement they were used to express your views as an intellectual uprising African America Hebrew King.
Shalom🙏🏽
