(Poem) “Forced Meditation”

It’s time you take a stand, you’ve been hindered from being a man, your destination has been planned since birth.. You never seen a man like you have worth.. Your daddy’s gone you never seen him home… Momma’s feet are aching, but she never thought of flaking. She said she said leave my baby alone. Her guilt made her place you up on Trone. With mom rubbing your feet it made you wanna sleep but the only problem was there was no food to eat. Men use to be strong until master did them wrong.. Before they had a choice they left their families by force. So you see, a black man having a family, that’s just a fantasy. According to the tv thats just a white man’s thing and the next commercial shows your kind just chilling with a fling, with all the drama to bring. I mean it’s a trauma thing. The only hope u got is a Nba ring, I mean at least that’s what you heard. You could never be a nerd. Because the media says you should try rapping a couple words. So now you change your name to baby, o no Lil baby, I mean da baby, or should I say a baby. Don’t you get it you’ve been trained to be a baby depending on your lady, maybe not financially but you abandoned family so  you left them frantically. I heard slavery was dead but you a slave in your head. Scientists studied your dreads and all the books that you read. That’s how they got up in your head. So you already dead when you let them in your bed. You’ve already been bought.  Your ancestors paid the price back when they were fought. Now they control your thoughts. Cover your ears watch everything you hear. Control your mentality to change your reality. Don’t believe them when they tell you it’s just a song because where we’re from that’s how you end up hung.
