White Man Blues
In a world gone mad, but not in a good way,
I retain my sanity, by writing some poetray.
Been told lies by the white man ever since my birth.
Value of this education? Priceless is its worth.
The news media is controlled by an all-white ill-ite few,
the obvious news outcome therefore is not new.
The white man co-opts other cultures’ best,
gets rich, then discards the rest.
Greed; all is never enough.
So let’s convict more CEOs! Prepare the matching cuff!
Money; under total control by the white man.
“Minimum” is granted to ethnic people - for survival, if they can.
Entitlement; the white man’s fable,
he foolishly wears this arrogant label.
Men kill their wives, what’s that all about?
They could divorce … but that must be the messy route!
Responsibility for the most deaths throughout history goes to cauc,
that lethal, soulless white man hiding behind a religious frock.
Ignorant patriarchal control is losing its’ power,
as matriarchal intelligence gets stronger by the hour.
African-American homosexual atheist – just another person to me,
but I’m not the ignorant white man dealing with his latent homosexuality.
The white man hijacks black culture for profit and status via envy.
In a sick love/hate relationship with men they never will be!
The white man praises God to gain favor with the sheep,
… whatever tactic works to keep them asleep.
… and while on that subject, …
God Bless America, if she must,
but let’s pluralize it and be just.
Or better yet, let’s put all fairy tales to rest,
it’s time for intelligence to reign – the best!
If not, then know this, …
… my people; the ones not under the spell,
we’re only 15%, but once united, we’ll give ‘em their hell!
So, with the use of the history-proven percentage for successful revolution;
humans will have the opportunity to move toward illumination,
… and become Human.

"The white man co-opts other cultures’ best,

Real! I was never taught in school of the black man's contribution to civilization... only to find.. the truth.
but my exploration has led me to see that not all whites profit from this white supremacist/racist culture. it's evil that oppresses and abuses.
"let us not recoil in hatred against those who, even while protesting their freedom from bias and prejudice, reveal by their actions that the poison of discrimination has left its lasting effects, and by this reaction reveal that we, no less than they, are susceptible to that virus which is called intolerance" - Emperor Haile Sellassie I
one perfect love. one human family.
nice work. keep up the energies.
And, when I view the news on the East Coast my brother, I see mostly African American newscasters-so I don't know why they aren't purporting the epic you see.
It is true; however, that rich men own the world today and we cower to their ownership.
Thanks,

I sense your anger and frustrations, but not all whites are rich: trust me. I live real close to the minimum wage--it isn't just for the ethnic. Women, too. Disabled, too. Just got a job: before then, living on $225.00 (two hundred twenty five dollars) a month: VA disability. Couldn't get food stamps ... something wrong there.
BTW, I'm white. Don't take offense at your words. I hear you!
You and I on the same page today: wrote one, "Lost in the Sixties tonight." A lot of anger rumbling underfoot: one day the fault lines are just going to ERUPT.
Excellent rhyming rant--keep writing, I'll keep reading!!!
(((HUGS))) and love, karla.
