The Power Of Poetry: Goliath Brown
By R o s e m a r i e W i l s o n | Contributor, U.S. – (This poem won an award: 2013 Detroit Writers’ Guild Paul Laurence Dunbar Poetry Contest Honorable Mention Recipient) Never knew equality after being subjected to prejudices spent worldwide. Chocolate, mahogany, sienna, hazel or olive, my actions have always been typified by the darkness of my skin. Perceived as a threat since the beginning of time, a man like me was present the Monday after God created the heavens and the Earth. My struggle began with Y in the womb and has since plagued my existence. Why do opportunities that fall into my lap scrutinize my very being? Why does Matthew take home more pay than LaQuan, but they do the same job? Why was I terminated after training my fair-skinned equals who had no experience before we met? Why do leisurely afternoon drives become DWB breaking news at five? Why is a staggering percentage of my species incarcerated being taught trades so they’ll return as productive members of society only to find more padlocked entrances where they’re qualified to roam free. Tears wept for me B.C. and A.D. I knew nothing about theft before my ancestors were stolen from the Motherland. Keloids from their salted wounds provide permanent reminders that I was built to last. I will not buckle after being backed into a corner. Shackles held us down, but we’re too strong to be held up. Stones thrown my way were caught in my teeth, bubble gum chewed then their remnants excreted in front of every plantation door. Often imitated but never duplicated, two of any another kind could never produce one of me. I refuse to become another victim. I wrestle with shadows as a Black man while my inner light fills the cosmos because I am a star. ©2012 Rosemarie Wilson aka One Single Rose All Rights Reserved.
