#WHATAREYOUAFRAIDOF? Is it the threats on your livelihood? #Thefearofbeingmisunderstood? What are you afraid of? Why aren't you all good? How long must you #pretendlikeitsallgood, When 99.9% of #BlackAmerica is suffering from #PTSD? When are we gon' remove the #mentalhealthstigma and #seektherapy? The mere fact that we have to #enact #BLACKLIVESMATTER Is all the more reason to #discourse #BlackMentalHealthMatters... How long must we #pretenditsallgood? The #allseeingeye is getting away with killing us in broad day, Yet #theblindeyeofjustice got us out here tryna #staywOke in the wake of #socialunrest. I look around our neighborhood's and all eye see is #liquorstore - #traphouse - #storefrontchurch, #liquorstoretraphousestorefrontchurch And #myheartcries within me and it hurts; Them people #preying, Our people #praying... Yet you continue playing Like you're #tooblessedtobestressed. When we gonna talk about how the #warondrugs is #chemicalwarfare at its best?! #HEAVENKNOWS, The #panicinneedlepark is just a walk in the park around these parts; The only difference is Bobby gets rehab, Pookie gets #buriedalive or a #toetag... What was once unseen is now streamed And seems as if they've let loose of the noose; Nowadays they'll kill you on Facebook Live then slander your name when you resurrect as a #hashtag. I must confess: I DON'T WANNA RESURRECT AS A HASHTAG! Question: When did #hashtaghim, #hashtagher, #hashtaginsertname become a trend? Who made #genocide vogue again?! O! I hope didn't step on any toes I jus' wanna van Gogh If you #lendmeanear, I will #drawattention to #politicallandscapes like: When are we going to talk about how #Bush #bombedthelevees? Are we supposed to sweep the devastation caused by #TheReaganAdministration under the rug like #Watergate? What happens to #TheAmericanDream when #makeamericagreatagain fanatics can't see their policies are bad? But don't mind me I just love to hear conservatives that step over #homelessveterans rave about their flag. -Stevie #thebookofquestions #poem | #SocialConsciousness https://www.instagram.com/p/Brr_byql3kU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dlzck9ak6ulu
