For ‘Mike Mike’

Mike Brown, New Manchild

The one who resisted it

His blood spoke our rise

His family showed them

He belonged to somebody

He belonged to us

They called us crazy,

agitator, thug, rabble

We called it freedom

By 2015

'74 was long gone

We were here again

Outlyers, maroons

War poets, soul scientists

Free, black, powerful

[maroonedinakron]

Black ink is power Paper is revolution Our Black Lines Matter

Black August Haiku #4

They tried to drown her,

But she learned to breathe, 

thus a mermaid was born. 

 Black Femme Magic. ✨

Black August Haiku #3

My black unicorn, 

When they could not destroy you, 

They made you a myth. 

 Black Magic ✨

Black August Haiku #2

We hid our magic, 

Hiding our spells in Poems, 

Our magic-filled tongues. 

Poems are Spells. 🔮✨
