Message to Racism

I AM NOT, I AM NOT WHO YOU THINK I AM
COURSE MY BLOOD, YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH
YOU WILL BELIEVE IN MY FUTURE, UNDERSTAND MY PAST
IT’S MY PRESENT THAT STANDS BEFORE YOU AS PROOF
THE BURDEN OF PROOF, IN CASE YOU ARE BLIND
SITS HUMID AND MOIST BENEATH MY SKIN
IT PERMEATES THE EARTH, THE AIR AND THE LAND
IT RADIATES FROM WITHOUT, TO MY CORE DEEP WITHIN
I HAVE LIVED IN THESE LANDS FOR THOUSANDS OF LIVES
I CONTROL NO BOUNDS THOUGH I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE
MY MIND IS AS NEFARIOUS AS THOUSANDS OF WARS
YET I WALK WITH GOD, THAT’S HOW I STAY ON PAR
I HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED ADOLESCENCE IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS
I SPEND MOST OF MY DAYS RECOLLECTING MY PAST
I KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR VARIOUS FORMS
FROM THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU, UNTIL THIS THE VERY LAST
I HAVE TAKEN YOUR ABUSE, YOUR LABELS, YOUR ANGST
YOU WILL DIE AT MY DOORSTEP, NO LONGER WILL YOU ROAM
YOU’VE DELINEATED MY PEOPLE FOR THE VERY LAST TIME
I WILL PUT AN END TO YOUR EXISTENCE BY THE END OF THIS POEM
RACISM, I BESEECH YOU, NEVER TROUBLE US ANYMORE
GO BACK TO THE DARK AGES FROM WHENCE YOU CAME
NEVER LET SPIRIT, NOR POWER, NOR MONEY RESURRECT YOU
YOU HAVE HARMED WAY TOO MANY WHO HAVE FOUGHT IN YOUR NAME
YOUR CLOUD OF JUDGMENT HAS BANGED ITS LAST GAVEL
YOUR SPECTER OF TRUTH HAS TRANSFORMED IN THE LIGHT
YOU CAN NO LONGER PORTEND THE ILL FATE OF MY PEOPLE
YOUR WEAK HAND OF WRONG PALES TO THE STRONG HAND OF RIGHT
KNOW ME FOR WHO I AM, FOR YOU WILL NOT SOON FORGET
THE INDIVIDUAL WHO STOOD UP TO YOU AND SPOKE YOU AWAY
I PLAN TO GET MY FELLOW MAN TO COMMIT TO YOU THE SAME
I PROMISE RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE SEEN THE LAST OF YOUR DAYS
