“Ain’t I human” by Kathy Brocks

Poem below

If yo mommie lick the kiddie kat
what you gon’ do ‘bout that
yell, scream, kick
love, pray, spit

If you daddy digs the muscles and beards
what you gon’ fear
They choose the life they live

Ego-maniacs
Sex-doubles
Sex-less
No I.D. Card
No voting rights
Deen Dreams of days not long lost
Napkins tied
‘bout black men heads
Cat of nine tails stretched across our black backs
Lick a klit, pull two beards, kill a vote
trample humanity, so no man lives
trample humanity, so God does not recognize what is His, Humanity
What is that, man?
