Are You Scared?


 DOES IT SCARE YOU?

The ones that you have

taught have now became the new teachers

Open discussions,

protest , and movements 

are now the new FEATURES.

DOES IT SCARE YOU?

That the ones you beat down

with scars on their back 

are the ones educating your children. 

DOES IT SCARE YOU?

That I married your privileged son ,

and used him to my advantage, 

as you did my ancestors.

DOES IT SCARE YOU?

That a black man ruled th nation,

No longer in the hands of the CAUCASIAN. 

DOES IT SCARE YOU?

That black KINGS and QUEENS .

are all over the nations,

soon to take over all your occupations.

DOES IT SCARE YOU? 

That my knee is at your throat now

DOES IT SCARE YOU ?

To be shot in the middle of the road now. 

Are you scared?...
