The Squirrel and the Dragon: A Fantasy Short Story

Once upon a time, in a little cottage atop a tall tree in a little forest, there lived a little squirrel named Chestnut. Every morning, Chestnut loved to take her little basket and go on nature walks to collect little colorful flowers in the meadows. She would make bouquets and flower wreaths and sell them at the market square. But one day, when Chestnut went on a walk to collect more flowers, she found a big black hill blocking her way. The big black hill was very strange, because instead of being covered with green grass, it was covered in black scales that shimmered in the sunlight. Another strange thing about the big black hill was that it moved up and down, almost as if it were breathing. “I don’t know how this strange hill got here,” Chestnut said to herself. “But I’ll just climb over it.” Chestnut clambered up the big black hill. It was a little difficult, since it kept moving up and down, but thanks to her determination, Chestnut managed to reach the very top. “I did it!” Chest...

White History Month

I’m sick of white people

Who look at us and scoff,

And smirk with contempt

Holding their heads aloft


As if those with black skin

And those of a different race

Are not worthy of existing

Or of being in “their” space.


I’m sick of their mockery

Of our struggles and pain

As they jeer “It’s not real,

You just want to complain.”


I’m sick of them saying,

“You don’t need black history month.

You just want to be victims,

What about a white history month?”


My sister cried

Because she was stressed

By jealous, ignorant white people

Whose souls were an evil mess.


They paid her back with rudeness

When she gave them kindness.

She offered them kind words

And they responded with silence.


And even after all

The racist things they do,

They will still say, “We’re not racist,

We have black friends, like you.”


Even after all

The racist things they say,

They will still say, “We are Christians,

In Jesus name we pray!”


I’m sick of this racist nonsense.

It is sick and it is evil.

Forget your white history month,

You are full of the devil!
