F. L. U. I. D.S

 

F for forgiveness 

To all the innocent taken 

Your color was mistaken 

Mistaken for  a weapon 

It’s the hate you give 

It’s so hard to forgive

Our voices are ignored 

WE SCREAM 

But do you listen 

 

 

The other day my stomach ached

Without  hesitation  I vomited 

 Sweating losing my fluids 

Pain radiating through my body 

Im sweating but my body feels cold

This feeling is numb and frightening 

As it connects me to be stopped  and frisk 

 

 

 l = Leader 

Doesn’t matter if no one listens 

I’ll speak silent or loud 

Not for clout 

But for me and my fellow blacks the sprout 

I’ll lead with my heart 

With my words

With prayers 

Until they really see why our lives matter

And not as a excuse to feel like it will shut us up 

 

 The pain in my stomach. Reminds me of hearing and seeing the movie Detroit 

Over a year later I’m still distraught 

The smell of sadness and  hurt

The vision of my own demise 

The fluids  feel off balance

The hope of not being shot

Is not by choice but chance 

The fact that  I could die 

Because My black is improper 

 

U=unity/uplift 

We are suffering 

We are mourning 

But unity causes uplift 

When together peacefully

The tides shift 

They call us the thugs and monsters

But when we are peaceful and their smoke  grenades 

 It causes more in the rift

Has u wonder who are the monsters 

Unity means we must stop harming 

End black on black 

Uplift our youth 

Be the light 

To end the fights 

Save us from see our brothers and sisters from being killed 

By white america 

 

Fluids is the sweat I see 

Glisten  of their skin 

As I walk by 

I wonder if ..

That fear is installed to my white friends?

The black friend that they say know 

Am I the uncomfortable factor?

 But that’s where my unity awakens within my leadership 

To make a bond with any race a friendship 

Where my pain is their pain. 

Their pain is my pain 

 

I= integrity

this for the courts with lack of integrity 

Those with the all white jurors 

Letting these cops who kill off easily 

As easy as it was for them to pull a gun

That death that was somebody son

Someone’s daughter 

And then we ask what can we do for that  

To alter 

 In the forgiveness we SCREAM

but here we are not respected 

Not heard

I guess silence  

Is the wall mr. 45 meant 

 

I  inhale 

Then exhale

Drink water 

Tears on my face 

Fluids feeling depleted 

Just remember bring cursed 

At for my skin 

I feel so defeated 

Wish I could be greated

Upset to the core

I can feel the stress forming to 

Pores 

 

D = Diversity 

Diversity is said in attempt 

To make us feel  comfortable 

Starting to feel like a fable

If I was white  no one would cross from me 

You know what’s the irony?

I walk out in fear of being killed 

By the opposite color 

Or by the law 

The only diversity 

Is hidden between white privilege

While the amount of blacks being killed.

Fills a village 

 

 

 

 

S- smile

God got you 

Keep a smile on your face 

Because your color isn’t a disgrace

Because black is beauty and strength ladies 

Because black is strength and talent fellas

And vice versa 

Smile for the better days

We smile to not give up  because our fight

For equality will be granted 

I’m Kyle I smile 

Because being black is a honor

A royalty 

History 

While in my eyes  white America 

Is still racist 

But they can’t solved that’s mystery
