Still they do not know
Who you are
What they’ve done
Nor do they care
They believe they have gotten away,
Are protected by conspirators
Who in truth
Saw you as an outsider:
Too dark
Too smart
Too passionate
Though you are the one who cared
They smiled and pretended
Called you
Cousin
Friend
Brother
Yet there was no truth
They devoured without a care
Your provisions
Your knowledge
Your passion
Your love
They will care.
I will see to it,
By Creator’s Leave.
AMIN.
