forgiveness (another poem)

I forgive you
Cos Jesus told me too
You mean white Jesus
Told you to forgive…..
After all the abuse
After all the lies….
You’re willin to forgive…
Maybe you should forgive
Yourselves to be put in a
Horrible position in the first place…
Black men
Black women
Yet, maybe y’all didn’t know
Cos we were trained to forgive
Our enemies…the ones who
Enslaved us…forgiveness is somethin
That happened in slavery and it keeps
Happenin today…let me explain
Forgiveness is a mental illness
When after all the trauma,
You were persuaded constantly
To forgive over and over
With violence
With all this Christianity shufflin down your throat
And now you’re trained to be a forgiven black person
Who forgives white folks or any other races who have done
Harm on you and our people on purpose….
And you passed it down your children who would forgive
Them that does harms intentionally….
It goes on and on and on….
And on….
Let me ask you somethin
Do you forgive a cheater?
Do you forgive a serial killer?
Do you forgive a rapist?
You better think hard and twice
Cos if you forgive white supremacy
You forgive a cheater, a serial killer, a rapist…
And sometimes kind hearted souls
Doesn’t...
