Black is a concept
not a fact
A divide
A gulf
A lie
Black is a whip,
a chain
A fallacy
A theory
To justify white supremacy
White privilege
White hierarchy
Black is a label
A title
An other
A fence to climb over
A discarded skin to jump out of
A burden to be elevated from
A dirty uncomfortable secret
A fairy time bed story
To scare little white children
Into sleep.
South Africa has left it's scars, poetry is the only way for me to move forward, it's not pretty but it helps.....
