BLACK PEOPLE OOO!-BLACK MEN OOO!-"WHITE MALE BURDENS...BLACK MALE SCAPEGOATS....-A POEM BY MENELIK CHARLES ON FACEBOOK

White male burdens...Black male scapegoats….

'What are your burdens?' I hear you ask

I am burdened by power but not by pride
I am burdened by envy I need to empty

I am burdened by sh*t that just won't quit
I am burdened by sin that needs forgiving

So...will you carry the shame & take the blame?

Will you do the time while I do the crime?

Will you take the hate before it's too late?

Will you wear a bustle instead of have muscles?

Will you wear a dress instead of impress?

Will you wear the coat meant for my goat?
