our anger has
no ability to destabilise
they have grown accustomed to our anger.
our anger is
their profit
deliberately
deliberately they anger us
the more we scream
cry
destroy ourselves
the more they line their pockets
thicken
and bulge
with the acidity of our anger
our anger is so profitable
they now sell it to themselves
and back to us
at times they appropriate it
have you seen them?
raising their fists
using our words
redefining our terms
twisting them, making them ugly
they are in love with the bile that rises from our stomachs
with the heat we feel in our necks
that burns our cheeks
the angry water that gathers in our eyes
the acidity that destroys us slowly
is filling them now
they are intoxicated by it
for white supremacy,
black pain is a helluva drug.
