We Want Justice

The school system for black kids is structured indifference

No coincidence we hardly recognized as gifted

Over diagnosed with ADHD they say we don’t listen

Because we in resistance

to the western whiteness mission

force feeding us a sanitized education system

Horace Mann creation they forgot to mention

Our whole education model is based off the Prussian system

Horace Mann seeked to convert students into soldier organisms

You know what that means

While white kids were being made into soldiers, Black Kids were being criminalized for reading

The Prussian model was during plantation era where black slave literacy meant beatings

This very USFG made that shit possible, No need for redeeming

Under the status quo of education black kids have no meaning

If we being real it’s been like that through history

Even after separate but equal was overruled, There was still black misery

Excuse me if we don’t believe that policy action equals progressive victory

Cause 1954 was Brown Vs Board of Education,

The story of Ruby Bridges makes this contradictory

Bridges a black girl pioneer of integration 6 years later in 1960

Policy aint do shit

Even after she got access to the class she was treated filthy

George said at the UTNIF politicians hella shifty

I feel like most of yall debate politicians put simply

#black lives matter

Mannequin

Mannequin by Kelvin Feliz

First you hear a deep, raspy growling noise. You think it’s all in your head so you try to sleep longer. Then the growling starts bothering you, so you open your eyes and sit up. You still hear the growling noise, but your eyes still need time to adjust to the dark room. They adjust after a minute or two as the growling keeps going, and you start to make out a tall figure with a mask. Then you make out the knife he holds in his left hand . You say out loud, “Nice try dad but you are not fooling me today. You and I are the only lefty in this house.” All you get in response is more growling. You tuck yourself back into bed, and after a short while, the growling stops. You think, finally some peace, but then your alarm starts going off telling you it’s time to head to school. You can’t skip school because it is your junior year, the most important, and if you skip one more day you have to go to court. You finish getting ready, but before you leave you have to confront your dad.

You burst into his room and tell him “ What the heck dad! That wasn’t cool. You stripped me of my sleeping time.”

Your dad jumps up, startled and replies in a sleepy voice “Son, what in the name of Jesus are you talking about? I work today -- get out of my room.”

You slam the door behind you, confused.Hmm that’s weird, you think. He seemed too asleep to have done the prank. Maybe one of my sisters did it but outsmarted me by using her left hand. Or maybe dad just played me right now. After all, he is an actor.

You decide to brush it off and make your way to school. You go to Computer Science class. Then you go to Biology. Then Creative Writing, Then Calculus, but then you get to World History. You start to hear the growling noise again, but twice as loud. You slowly turn your head towards the door and through the window you see this figure again.This time there are two. However, this time you realize that this figure doesn’t have a mask. It has no face. It has holes where the eyes would go but no eyes. It has the shape of a nose but no nostrils. It had no mouth or ears. You realize that it’s fucking mannequin come to life. You hear the bell ring, but you stay in your seat. Your hands are shaking and your heart is racing. You watch all the students run out of class and the mannequins disappear in the midst of the crowd. You find the courage to get up and walk out of the classroom. Usually you would get ready for soccer practice, but you decide to leave and head straight for the police station. You explain your story to the officer at the front desk but he doesn’t believe you.

“No I’m telling you they keep following me”

“Ok so them give me a description. Beard or no beard? Asian? Black?White? Anything that could help us.”

“I already told you, they were tall figures with no faces. Just a white head. Like a mannequin.”

“Hey Jess what day was it again?”He screams to his coworker in the back.

“Monday, April 1st, 2019”

“Nice try kid, I don’t have time for your silly dumb pranks today I have actual business to take care of.”

“No I promise you, they followed me from home to highschool and they make these weird growling noises.”

“So your telling me they have no face but they make growling noises.”

“I don’t understand either and I am not crazy you have to believe me.

“Please leave the station and come back tomorrow to see if you actually need mental help.”

Great so even if I do come in tomorrow they’ll just throw me in a psych ward. You pick up your bag, walked out of the station and ran to the bus stop. You see the bus arriving but as it approaches you you see a bus full of mannequins. No growling. Just staring at you with knives in their hands. You think, how the hell do they know where I am always at. It’s like they freaking know where I am going before I even know. You bolt towards your house before the bus came to a stop. 15 minutes later and you finally reach the doorstep but at the same time you start hearing growling behind you.

You don’t look back. You take the keys out of your pocket and struggle to open the door as your hand shakes. You manage to open the door, you run inside and close the door behind you. You notice all the lights are off. “Mom? Dad? Anyone?” No reply. You then realize you left the keys on the door. No no no no nooooo. You run to the nearest door which happens to be the bathroom. You lock the door behind you and start crying. You yell out “What do you want from me? Leave me the fuck alone.” The growing gets louder. Suddenly,glass from the bathroom mirror cuts your arm. You turn on the sink to wash the blood but water doesn’t come out but rather a thick, warm substance.

You lay flat on your back in the shower and close the curtains. You take out your phone to call your parents but you notice that you have no signal. You start to pray that they would just go away. It doesn’t work because you hear the sound of a large door falling to the ground. The growling starts to get closer. Knives start cutting through the curtains while you are still on your knees praying. All the mannequins start piling up on you poking you with their knives and you think that this is the end of the road for you. You scream “Go away, just please go away I’ll do anything you want just leave me alone please” as you burst into tears.

All of a sudden, they start to disappear. Shocked and confused you just sit there in the tub. It is still pitch black so you can’t tell if they are playing mind games and just hiding or if they are really gone.

You feel your pocket to check for your phone and pull it out once you do. You check to see if you finally have service and you do. You dial 911 and the operator responds.

“Hello what’s your emergency?”

“I have been attacked and I think I might be injured please help.”

“I am sorry sir all I heard was a bunch of growling can you repeat that again for me.”

“I said I have been attacked please help.”

“Ok if you are too injured to speak growl for 10 seconds, however, if you are pulling a prank on me please know that could be enough to detain and arrest you.”

“I said I was fucking attacked are you deaf mam?”

“ Ok well we can’t help you if you don’t tell us your location.”

Angry at the police you hang up. Then it hit you. You go back into your phone and open up the camera. You put the flashlight on and take a selfie. You look at the picture and see the mannequin. No face. Holes where the eyes would go but no eyes. Shape of a nose but no nostrils. It had no mouth or ears. Then you realize you are that fucking mannequin turned to life.
