~~~~MAD-POETRY~~~~~

[Instinct.Poet]

This something I got on my E-mail, Mostly

made sense, hope ya like it too people.I know

you will...

 

Maya Angelou.....

 

WHERE'S MY AFRO.. PICK? An Advertisement from FUBU

 

Because his last name is HILFIGER

But behind closed doors, TOMMY

Is calling you a Nigger.....

But you could care less

Because you have been taught to dress to impress.

If I asked you about your true history

You would have to look on the back of your jeans and GUESS!

 

You come up in the club wearing VERSACE

Clothes made by a homosexual male

So even when you say you are straight

It is very hard to tell.

 

And for footwear you wear TIMBERLANDS,

Even under the sun

That same tree that is the symbol for them

Could have been the same one your ancestors were hung from.

 

I can not forget your NAUTICA

When the last memory you have of ships

Is coming to North Amerikkka in shackles,

being beat over the back with whips.

 

And to my beautiful black queens

Whose creative womb has become barren?

I am confused, because your face says Nefertiti,

But your sweater reads DONNA KARAN.

 

When was the last time you saw LIZ CLAIBORNE

Conversing with black women,

But as soon as her name is printed on a purse

To Macy's you quickly go running.

 

RALPH LAUREN doesn't even look at black men

Unless they are driving him around town

But as soon as that slave master appears on the back of the horse

You put whatever you have picked up down.

 

My people reclaim your status in this world and

in your life.

 

FUBU, in case you didn't know For Us By Us.

Buying black will someday suffice.
