Pigment

in blurt •  4 years ago 

I am a black gem floating in a white bubble
Bubble so fragile I have to try not to exceed my boundaries
Walking on eggshells and living clean
For once the trigger is released, pam, bubble bursted
This voice says, we can't trust you

I am of the pigment, black
I like to think you stare because I stand out
But your eyes tell a different story, crucifying, like the great judgement book
And _hei ren __ tumbles out your lips like I'm some abomination
This voice says, you don't belong here

You know they say, wear your skin colour with pride
But then why do you look at me like I make you uncomfortable, which makes me uncomfortable, do you know that is uncomfortable??
Would you give me a chance to show I'm human, more than just a colour?
Will all you see be shackles, apes and figures with dark stripes?
Will your antenna be on alert, the hairs on your back on edge, 911 on dial when I dip my hands into my pocket?
Tell me
Will the voices from the past which has always defined us whisper -he's black, not human - to you?

By 28th Feb next year, I'm hoping to accumulate a next worth of $40,000 and monthly income in excess of $2,000 .

To make this a reality, I'm willing to work for blurt blockchain if given the opportunity to showcase my skills. Have talked to friends to join blurt, and I'm hopeful we'll have them here.

Gozapata!!!!💪
