Black hands crying
pushing dirt left and right
dirt under fingernails
digging into dark places
blackness smeared down the sides
of a hole so deep
eternity gave up trying to find the bottom
this is where many have decided to bury
their own self-blackness
beyond the grasp of a reaching hand
beyond the echoes of a voice calling out
hey black boy
hey black girl
why don’t you all come-on-back
Barack
Is here.
