I Just Can't Be Quiet

Dear Oppressor,

My voiced will not be silenced 

My age, gender, curly hair, and colored skin ain't violent 

I respect your authority 

But minorities are currently the world's majority 

I will not fall victim to your sanctions 

My black brothers going to jail won't be your main attraction 

My black sisters' pregnancies won't be classified as their specialties 

Neglected, abused and dark-skinned are labels for perplex penalties?

My lip will not stay shut 

Whether my words hit your brains or gut 

Oppression being a clear alignment 

My voice will not be silenced 

Thanks Sincerely, 

Jaquira AKA the stressor
