What Is The Anger Of A Black Man?
The anger of a black man
Is it controlled or does it lash out?
Is it replacing my name with bitch and hoe?
Does a black man’s anger allow him to put his hand on me until I pass out?
Does his anger supersede all laws and regulations?
Is a black man's anger learned from his society and culture?
Or does it all go back and lead up to the white man who treated blacks like shit?
How am I suppose to handle the anger of a black man?
Should I try not to get him mad or bust the windows out his car?
Should I run and hide or try to kill him in his sleep.
I face reality finding out that is not a man.
Just a boy confused on what a man really is.
