ANGRY BROWN WOMAN

You wonder why I'm Angry Brown Woman, spitting furious hate

Just reacting to the layers of hateful ISM's that you create..

One day it may make sense when staring in the rear-view,

The roles we all play, dictated by You doing what you do

Picking and choosing what part of my culture serves you best

What doesn't suit, you label defective, discard and detest

Who made you God anyway, picking and choosing what is 'right'

judging my ancestors to be wrong simply for not being white

My whole life in this mixed skin, living triggered in Fight or Flight

as the unspoken message loud n clear was only White is Right

Cortisol-led had me running from nation to nation

seeking a different HIS-story, finally lost my patience

It's all the same everywhere, thanks to your Globalisation

weight on my shoulder heavier with that rocky realisation

All oppressions stem from the Original Sin of Colonialism

got me stalled at the red-light Intersection of my ISM's

Finally seeing crystal clear, now my third eye's beaming

that none of this is accidental, how centuries of scheming

To silence stories and voices of my ancestors way back then

now we're off mute and shouting about way back when.

Egypt's still calling British museum, we want the Rosetta stone back
Restitution for your theft of global 'artifact's, still a slow and paltry act.

We don't want the crumbs from the table of white supremacy you're serving

we've got a smorgasbord of cultural heritage to feast on - you're underserving

Of my culture's music, fashion, food and DONT TOUCH MY HAIR!

White-centred around a cultureless void, neither here nor there..

Eventually, the reality hits; the foundation of your culture's built on lies.

Its you who Terrorise, then ignore the ethnic 'majority' of children's cries.

Now the world's on Pause, while these same old white men decide OUR fate

You can't see why we cannot trust anything authorised from 'State'

You still wonder why I'm angry brown woman, spitting furious hate?

Just reacting to the layers of hateful ISM's that you still create.
