poem w/ instrumental background flute by Rachel Hudson regarding the murder, torture, oppression and resilience of Black men
{ inspired by "Negro Head (Negro)" by Allie Victoria Tennant }
lyrics
My eyes weep for the suffering your tortured soul endured - Nigel Shelby
My lungs gasp choking back screams of resistance in hopes of compassion - Eric Garner
My fingers bleed clawing at hardened hearts for a freedom never realized - Emmett Till
My feet firmly planted in the soil of native lands baring strange black fruit - John Hughes
My resolve quacks under the weight of systemic erosion of hope - Barak
My mind unable to dream, rest, or manifest visions of black prosperity while living a daily nightmare - Martin
Black bodies
Black hearts
Black minds
Black love
Black strength
Black magic
Black Resilience
It’s CP Time
