Black Pain

Written by C Hues

You’re black and in pain.
You speak but doctors don’t hear.
They see you’re not here.

You’re invisible.
So, that’s why you’re never seen.
You’re black and in pain.

You’re black and in pain.
How dare you defend yourself?
You’re too loud for them.

They can’t see or hear—
When they see or hear black folks.
You’re black and in pain.

Don’t trust anyone.
You must believe what I say.
Trust me on this one.

You’re a dog person.
The cats don’t seem to notice—
You bleed from scratches.

Gated Community

Written by C Hues

You’re living large, you’re feeling tall.
You’re wealthy now, you have it all.
Your fancy gates turned into walls.
Your family called; you missed their calls.

Your hometown’s gentrified.
Your culture’s not your pride.
You’re all ego—your conscience died.
You’re giving nothing back, never even tried.

You’re remembering how to forget every day.
Your cost of living make you lose your way?
You’re just showing who you’ve always been.
Your people are outside—you won’t let us in.

You’re so generous, voting to keep us out.
Your culture is secondary to keepin’ clout.


You’re talking of crime?
Your crime is the worst of all.
Your back remains turned.

Your heart is empty, but your pockets are full.
You’re a role model to us all—and that’s all BULL.
