HOW DARE YOU

How dare you ask me
for my blessing, ask 
that I pretend you mean
right by me while
you slander my name
and act as if you don't 
know what racism is
How dare you want
me to make it better
for you, make it alright
when you've given
nothing back in the 
way of restitution, in
the way of fixing the
problem, how dare
you barter for my
silence
