I Voted for Him . Just Because. He Is Black!
I have voted before. For others, No one cares. Because I was voting for
Coons, Two-timing Liberals, Political Whores,Great White Hopes
Than no one analyzed how voted, my vote was just another vote
and no one took offense I voted the status quo
I voted as a civic duty to honor those who got
Hosed down
Beat down
Bitten by dogs
Jailed
And made into strange fruit. Hung on American trees
Yes, I voted for them. Black
I and along with others who look like Him
Are being accused of
Racism
Fraud
Ethnic bias
Vindictiveness
For we dare to vote
For A Man Black
Yes we are indeed voting Black
If these accusations them feel better of their demons,
By all means go ahead
And project. And demean. And belittle
My vote. My Black Vote.
Yes I Voted Black
I voted Black just because
He is Black
Black like Me
Black like Brothers in Prison
Black like Amadou
Black like Nat Turner
Black Like Toussaint
Black Like Senghor
Black Like Lumumba
Black like The Black Child birthed as I cast my vote
In the South Bronx
In Cite Soleil
In Soweto
In Libertade Favela
In Monrovia
In Dafur
Yes I voted Black
Yes
I
Voted
Me
Black
Forever!
