Who Are You?
Dawn Hancock 1946 (Oakland, California)
Who Are You ?
I see you , I see thru you
It's your language; It's your world
Translucent Transparent
From the cave you came to take away
knowledge ideas/ideals and make them yours
Translucent Transparent
At what cost matters not by beating, hanging
psychological imprisonment by means unnecessary
Translucent Transparent
Now the time has come for the Atonement of
the raping of African nations and past atrocities
Translucent Transparent
Neither Massa nor Master are you
not of this world not of the next
Translucent Transparent
Thin enough for light to pass thru But
not thick enough Not to see thru
Translucent Transparent
Answer; you biggots who still run rampant with a
more prevalent and arrogant mindlessness
Translucent Transparent
