People in this country never cease to amaze me...
“My Nigga Art”
Staring
Rapid shots
My nigga art
Pass me by
And I am caught
Under rug
Under dirt
My nigga art
Conveniently forgot
Pass me by
Eyes divert
Attempt to scribe
Reactions curt
But rapid shots
Reminders queer
My nigga art
Clears the park;
On to stage
The world remade
Tourist spot
Rapid shots
City forgot
Digital Cyclops
To my nigga art
A chance to relive
Remind
Injustice don’t stop
As paths increase
Ever wider from me
Eyes averting
A nigga
And his history
Swept again
Until the rug is moved
And nigga art
Stampedes the room
Staring at passers-by
Forcing them to remember
A world they want forgot…
