We're Still Here

We’re Still Here
By: Damon Cooper

Nigger is what you called me,
but that is not what you made me.
You lash out with whips and hate
but that makes me stronger.
Born unafraid of your segregation
and humiliation that was meant for my people.

We are unified under the solstice
that is our Lord the Father.
No knife or bullet or white hooded
menace could ever pierce
the shield over my soul.
And as long as my soul still glows
from my faith within
I am a boulder.
Immovable as the ignorance
in your heart.
Jagged as the pain you have caused my people.

Your lies like weights
try to crush and hold us 6 feet under
gasping for breath.
Your white supremacists
mock our very existence.

Yet we are still here.
We stand tall.
We stand as one.
As strong as the ball and chain
you’ve clasped on our ankles.
We stand as one.
Brave and fierce even as your hoses
try and spray us down.
We stand as one.
Fists held high as a symbol
of your demise.
We stand as one.

Now look me in the eyes
And tell me that shit aint real.
