Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
"get out my face"
get out my face
pretending to
be about me
get laced
with fire
you undercover liar
penetrate my mind
you can't
waiting for me
to spit
what i ain't
a leech
sucking me dry
cut you loose
at the limbs
like a newborn
from his mother's
womb
only you
are left to bleed
and your seed
will follow
your path
drowning in
your continued
sorrow
don't count
on tomorrow
to save
what should
have been considered
yesterday
for you predetermined
the fate of
four generations
to come
no reparations
so get on them
knees
and beg for
mercy, understanding, and grace
to find favor
and save your race
of babies
until then
get out my face
