Fascism in Me and My World
Today is the day
They are coming after me
I’ve broken the law
For only being myself.
Yesterday I spoke out
But no words came from my mouth
I was the oddball
I was the distinct face in the crowd
Tomorrow will be the day
That I will be displayed
My corpse being dragged about
My dignity gone,
Oh where has my dignity gone?
I’m black,
I’m white
I’m not in-between,
I’m no place to be seen
Except when I am the “other”
The different person
The alien
The foreigner
Today is the day
Where I will once again
Be dubbed with
May harsh nicknames
N*****.
Yesterday, I was just
The black woman
The weirdo
The non-entity
Tomorrow will be the day
Where my race, my heritage
Will be wiped out
I will be no more
My race will be no more.
Today is the day where
Those who are strong
stand up and take over
they overthrow what was in place
yesterday, we were not
happy, but rather in a
strained state of being
everything was fine, but not great
Tomorrow,
My liberties will be
Taken away from me
No longer will I have any rights
I will no longer have a say
Where has my voice gone?
Today will be the day
When they come looking for me
The black
The bisexual
The oddball
The come looking for me
The will find me
They will injure my
Pride
And my happiness.
They will get you,
They will taunt
They will justify their hatred
Towards you
They will find something wrong
They will always find something wrong
Whether you do something
Or whether you sit back and watch
Today is the day
I will be no more
