Spoken Words: #234nigergiangirls


this is a little under
the radar between
more of and less than
this is human
this is history
- time-bound & spatial
this is post-racial
this is the gameplan
before the genocide
this is a wedding wagered
on the body of a war bride
this is colorblind
this is a gordian knot of gulags
still sliver spooning mankind
this is third, fourth, fifth world
this is murder medley myth world
this is a daughter
this a sister
this is a slaughter
this is a blood blister
this is fanged enough
to take out the next of
your own kin
this is black soul
this is black skin
this is how you don’t
care till the devil
dances in your own din
this is everyday
this is repetitive
this is how bullets
never betray
this is how bombs
ghostwrite an essay
where evil spelled
in reverse is to live
this is a young girl
scared and alone
this is 234 of them
who could be killed
unseen
unsaved
unknown
