We were graciously asked to "respect the president elect". Well, I object to what's suggested on the grounds that I'm the rejected.
As a black. As a woman. As a human. As a someone who 'matters' in more categories than this fascist ever wanted.
I'm hunted - Me and my people of the melanated hues. CNN all day, gettin' elevated views,
As we watch in shock & awe at the "level of division" in the "most powerful nation"... Guess we're weak at decisions.
No provisions will be made for the underserved - no way. Democrats will be slaves to the Republican way.
Own the house, own the senate - wait a cotton-pickin' minute. Canada Immigration site crashed, cuz we tryna get up in it.
'Respecting the elect' is a last priority. This is not a minor thing, so I speak as "a majority". Electorally, I'm over this bootleg-ass college. I vote it 'most likely to be' the culprit of all this. Nonsense.
With the popular vote, we had it in the bag, but elitists shitted on the states and used the flag as a rag.
It's all about money and power. Classicism and color. "Whitelash" hashtag, backlash undercover.Whipped at the pole or the polls? Can't tell one from the other.
Lash still burns like hot coals on the backs of our brothers. The sacred names on the roll - our forefathers and mothers. The allies, the outcries of the marginalized others.
I whisper to my sisters Love and Strength cuz 'I'm with her'.
Gonna be a cold, cold Winter with this cold-souled winner sinner; this plantation mister. Massa. Slickster.
I turn inward, to "where the pain comes", the warm light at the center.
Guiding light for the dark night. In a hard fight, with the wrong plight.
With our fists tight, when the time's right, rise high to the moon's height.
Our light been burnin' for centuries long.
Through winds of change, whips and chains,
Yeas and Nays, stay strong.
