Black noise

Not Black noise, not humanity's noise

I know Black noise

And Black noise does not ask me

Who I am

Where I'm really from

And that my name is too difficult to pronounce

Or write

Black noise is queer

Is love

Full of jazz and soul

Djembe drum

And the blueprint to all modern, western culture

I know humanity's noise

And humanity ask nothing from me

Other than communion

Rest, abundance with creation

When I give, I receive

When I receive

I give

White noise

The tyranny of whiteness

Not a skin tone

But a socioeconomic terrorism

That is capitalist

Ableist, misogynist, racist

Homophobic, and destroying

Every ecosystem on this planet

It is the ideology of scarcity

That made me subject to the defensiveness

Of the title White Noise

A defensiveness towards my specificity

Regarding our relationship to a system

That tries to kill me everyday

Not realizing that it's also killing you too

I've always felt this need for control

I've always felt this need for control

I've always felt this need

You who are racialized as white

And believed to be invincible

You're being vulnerable

You're sharing yourself

But at the same time

You're like, trying to figure it out

And then

You feel sad because like

You missed out on so much

And then, you feel confused because

You don't know what you're doing

You're like, regretful because you're like

Why the fuck was I born in this body

You know like

Sometimes I, look at myself in the mirror

And I'm like

I hate this, I hate that

Like, but then at the same time

Like it feels like, you know

Sometimes there's moments where I'm like

Yeah I fucking love this, I'm like fucking hot

You can be riding high

And then like fall down

But its just like

It just kind feels like, you know

Fall, and then you get up

You fall again, and then you get up
