It was in their eyes…Fire…Anger…Determination to shake up this Nation…
Every footstep was a testimony of Unified Strength walking towards a Common goal of being heard, being Seen… They were tired of Living a Nightmare and wanted the Dream of Martin Luther King to become a reality in their lifetime… Tired of the Headlines of death by Police, death by Drive bye and Walk byes … Their eyes carried the Fire and the Spirits of the Unjust, of the Victims of Brutality and Senseless Crimes that boggled the mind… I took these words from their EYES…
There was anger , there was frustration, and many of those eyes reek with disdain over how they were being treated, how they were being disrespected and dissected so that feeling good about their profession no longer enter their mind with joy… I took these words from their lips, unspoken and spoken… Words like tired of this sh…t, tired of being questioned, tired of getting no credit and no help while trying to do a very difficult job….. I took these words from people with degrees, people without degrees who are fed up with constantly being attacked, fed up with being told their skills and work is not good enough… She allowed them to treat her like an animal who performed tricked and other degrading acts for their entertainment…
For their amusement she was stripped of dignity, stripped of pride as to portray a tamed Savage, a wild beast on a leash… She fascinated them, she hypnotized them and was beguiled by them who claimed they had her best interest at heart… Jealousy and curiosity in every touch of her magnificent Butt which she shook with a vigor and made them shiver at the Wonder in all that Brown Thunder… They lied to her, kept the word pride from ever visiting her… She would drink in overflow to cover her shame…in overflow to cover her pain… They paraded her and debased her with impunity and the approval of the Court Community… |
