The Diary of An American Dreamer
Orange is the new black
so sad,soon or later will be the Fall of America
instead of moving forward it's like we're going back
just because the projects are from the White House,
doesn't mean it should exclude Black
we didn't choose to be wrapped into a colored skin,you know
and we've been fighting long enough
Fought for an equality that we'll never fully have
Screamed after civil rights,and freedom
which many jailed,beaten up,died for
Mandela,Malcolm,martin Luther Jr
but no matter all that,
we're still the most mistreated,disrespected
I don't ask to be recognized by my skin color
Don't judge me by the imperfection of my brothers
yes,I know that the states yards are 90% colored
but the truth is that most of us are jailed
without knowing the crime that we've committed
all we asked is just see us as human beings
don't classify us,like we're some belongings
I shouldn't feel offended,yet,I'm angry
my voice is too weak,i don't have no other way to express my feelings other than poetry
listen,for you guys that don't know,I'm from Haiti
yes,that little country,the victim of all Powers,
"Pearl Of Antilles"that after stolen all its gold,resources
that they rank among the poorest and many much more
I was trying to remain calm,but no not this time
I'm not going to stand back,pretend everything is alright
yes,for you,i might be wasting my time
But i have so much reasons to be mad
that to give some i truly don't know by which one to start
Before saying anything,may God protect my little boy just in case that piece right here causes him orphan
Lord,please strengthen my husband and mom,just in case that piece of poetry,throws me in prison
Dear Almighty,please wash away my sins,if after writing that,my life is taken from me
And to all my brothers,don't forget"dying is cool,for the Flag and the Country"
the last statistics state that 15k haitians have aids in the US,after a reporter stated that we only eat trees
listen,dear President,your country is what it is,thanks to its diversity
if you take a look around,i bet that you'll see,most of the hard work we make them without complaints and we follow your rules even most don't even make no sense to our ears
Why Haitians,Africans have to come to the USA?
That's what you ask!Okay let say,with a great respect
go sit back in an elementary class,and study what makes your country what it is today
Check out,businesses,factories,restaurants,and estimate how many % that are from immigrant
the road that you take won't take you to any good destination
why instead of working united,you are trying to divide us into nation
Races,Colors,Social Class,come on...the clock already past that time
You say "In God We Trust" while that same God doesn't divide us when he pours his blessings,his graces,neither his curses
That same God created all of us by his image,and give us the land to produce
what's wrong about somebody leaving his country to find a better life?
What's so wrong about dreaming?Dreaming of making somebody out of nobody who can step up and help everybody?
I know I won't find an answer,because my voice in that poem will never be heard
But listen,each nation is part of what America has always been
and to make it Great Again,you have to reject your view of segregation
Orange is the new black,that's true
We might not have Power,but we have voodoo
