Imagine reaching retirement
reflecting injustice, low paid salaries, lack of ownership
incest, communities that
devalues positive self-representation,
where social media depicts our culture as mutt vagrants,
gun, knives, animals that roam our neighbourhoods without sanctuary.
Preventable
Oblivious to the harm you created by doing nothing to
Unite the Black population.
Yet, you expect
younger generations to respect
the heritage you failed to leave behind.
Unless you have made a significant impact
towards the oppression of the Diaspora
You can consider your legacy
part of the wider problem.
