Modern Day Genocide

(Unapologetic: A Poetry Collection)

​

This is modern day genocide 

Resulting from acceptable homicide.

Guns used as pesticides

To get rid of unwanted flies.

You all better realize,

Before this race is immobilized, 

that without our men we can't thrive.

And slowly, they are victimized

Then, thrown in a hole to never rise.

Please know they won't apologize 

For these wrongs they have legalized.

Strange fruits-can you visualize?

Lynching has only been modernized.

As a people we should synchronize 

and there is no time to criticize.

Each other we should patronize,

Prayer, peace, and voice- utilize.

And in these trying times... 

family needs to be revitalized,

Love needs to be emphasized,

And our community- homogenized.

These concepts must be prioritized...

If we are to see future generations.
