Another Emmett Till poem

I remember she lied….
I remember….
It’s why a white woman
Can’t be trusted….
Don’t give me mlk speech….
I don’t trust those white tears
Fallin from those piercin eyes….
The way she acted innocent
But there’s cruelty behind this
So called victimization…
This facade
That the world crumblin for…
White women are not damsel in distress
They hold their power to play that role
To endanger black men, to put them
In harsh positions…with her lie
She didn’t go to jail…
She went on about her business
While that little black boy had no justice
Only some kind of medal or perhaps a
Statue…Emmett didn’t get any justice….
Nobody punched Carolyn Bryant in the face….
Nobody fucked her up
Karma got her
But there’s no vengeance
She’s only got forgiveness
From Emmett Till’s family….
Like it was a big misunderstandin….
Which is sad…..
Carolyn doesn’t deserve forgiveness…
And so many other women like her
Are still exist in the world….
You can’t tell me
It’s all in the past….
I thought this could be a lesson
For black men for black Boys
To be aware, to stay away from
These types of women who will use
Their Power against them….
They will use Their white tears to
Slaughter them….
They won’t listen to that message
At all cos their self hate blinds them
Too much….why do you think a black mama
Say to her son, go and get a black girl?
Her son would be like you’re racist, mom
It’s in the past….
Though The past lingers the present
All the time….bringin new cycles of damage
And trauma….it’s another reason why
White supremacy needs to be talked about
Among the black family households…
Cos of the situations might come
Up in life unexpectedly….
Emmett Til
Black boys black men
Need to know the story
And how a white woman use that
Damsel in distress with her white tears
Can manipulate your position Just cos
You’re black…she can walk away freely without
Consequences…the fact Carolyn doesn’t give
A fuck about a boy’s mother cries….
I mean look at her smilin at her husband
While black family weeped….
That’s gotta be incredible act of violence…
She lied, she lied on that baby….
