YOU’RE A MONKEY! (Poem)

YOU’RE A MONKEY

IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID MANY TIMES TO ME

NOT BY THE SO-CALLED WHITE DEVIL ENEMIES

BUT BY FELLOW MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN NEGROID RACE FAMILY

WHO PASSED DOWN THEIR WHITE WASHED SELF-HATE TO ME

THE SAME WAY MY GHANAIAN FATHER PASSED DOWN HIS REGAL AFRICAN HISTORY!
