The Massacre
No apologies,
america
will forever
have blood on its hands
forever
have blood
on its hands
for every unmarked grave
our great great grandmothers
lay under
will forever
have blood on its hands
for every lynching
every noose thrown upon
our uncles necks
blood
for every African
who chose death
once stolen from home
will forever
have blood on its hands
forever
for every
nine months our mothers
carried their babies
only to leave us with the burden
mixed children
broken homes
drums destroyed
languages lost
religions and gods
choked to death
in the name of new world wealth
blood
forever
for every nigger they made breed
only to sell off the seeds
in the name of new world wealth
blood
forever
for every death yielding device
you sold to the motherland
blood
forever
for every inch of vomit
and feces
that touched our beautiful skin
on the bottom of your boats
forever
for every African
who called you a beast
in their native tongue
america
fuck you
and fuck your bullshit apology
my people will stay
as pure as we were
when you found us
and you will always be as corrupt
as your forefathers were
and we
along with the world
and God
will always see
the blood on your hands,
Like your deeds
your apologies are unacceptable.
