Move past it... HOW?
You are told to move
past it
As if you weren’t
plucked
From your homes
Like flowers off
fields
Bunched together
in shackles
Packed together like
sardines
Lost your
freedom
Lost your right
to be human
You are told to
move past it
By those who
forget
That imprints itself
And history is
rooted in our DNA
And that we
carry the tears
And screams of
human beings
Being bought and
sold
Like property by
white masters
We are told to
move past it
As if it has
changed
And now we
prosper
When white being
own the land
And the means of
production
We are still
slaves
Who sell their
souls and labour
In order to try
and lay claim
To freedom we
still must buy
We are told to
move past it
Move past the
injustices
That created the
justice system
That still
shackles
And packs us
like sardines
Behind four
walls and steel bars
Yet the
privilege of being white
Is still
something you relish
Because you know
It puts you in a
better standing
Then the colour
black
You tell us to
move past it
Even though you
ridicule us
And rig a system
to imprison us
Or turn us into
slaves that sell
Their labour for
minimum wage
All in an effort
to buy crumbs
Off the masters table
who is still white
Mind you he owns
the wealth
And no matter
how you look at it
We are still
slaves to white masters
So tell me how
do we move past that?
