To Be Complicit

A poem

Photo by Donovan Valdivia on Unsplash

To be complicit

Is to be dim witted.

To ignore what’s in front

Is to delude from what’s blunt.

This programming is interrupted

For the black lives that got erupted

From a society that mistreats them

While pretending it’s not contempt.

We say black lives matter

When we sit and get fatter

From the lies we tell ourselves

That we’re woke to our pelves.

It’s time to stop lying

Before we start crying

Because we treat black people like shit

And it’s time for us to take a hit.
