Black Kids (4 Your Eyez Only) | 17 December 2023

I just had a very unsettling realization

We can all agree that no matter individual beliefs,

The collective good holds children sacred

Meaning, even if you’re fighting in a war

Only monsters target children or leave them to die

And so that brings me to my unsettling realization

It’s about how truly awful & disgusting racists are

Even to Black Kids

But even going beyond overt racism

Focusing only on how society treats black kids

It seems like every black teen I see

Is getting charged as an adult

Which is when it clicked, epiphany descending

About how society doesn’t look at them as kids

They don’t even look at them as black kids

They consider them little black people

So they can treat them with the same cruelty

& avoid the cognitive dissonance coming from

Realizing they’re the monsters manifesting malice

Manufacturing the Fear projected on the neglected

By killing kids whose corpses grow up to kill Ū

Their demise guaranteed, 4 your eyez only
