Neglected Melanin
As you walk down the street in America,
you go unnoticed.
unnoticed in the sense
that you're uneducated,
you never graduated high-school,
but you can dribble like Mike,
or sing like Whitney.
You're judged by the melanin
in your skin,
that's rich like the King's and
Queen's that descended from
your ancestor's that were slaves,
brought out their homeland,
into a place they were forced to call home.
You're judged by someone that forced
the Native Americans out their land.
You're judged by someone that counted your ancestor's as 3/5th's of a human.
You're judged by someone that took your descendants out their homeland,
took gold, iron, diamonds, and silver
but never acknowledged their wrong
doings.
But am I to judged.
