To The Modern Black Standard (Free verse) by ALChemy

Rid the infinite redirect- ed slave lineage models for a 76 Coupe Deville, civil hero dealer of pleasure and painkillers. Lest ye be written in the book of cattle people who you prod with pimp cain or cocaine or staff of god. What's the difference? Still the man's bitches. And those hos and bitches twichin' ass or kitchen grease slave to the neo-slave, maids baby makers. You say it's 'bout money you lie. Eyes turn from bright skin. For fear? For hate? For lust? You rage- (for the caged bird sings to the white feline (songs of Johnny Appleseed)) -"Why motherfucker, why?" What's the difference? Still the man's bitches.

I like your interpretation better. A much more subtle, less offensive take than what I was thinking but I think you still get the gist.
For every black person trying to progress there's two more pulling in the opposite direction. Black people are still being held down by there own misconceptions of themselves and self imposed stereotypes. I was inspired by the words of such men as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and Bill Cosby.
The caged bird is stolen from Mia Angelo and used in this poem to represent a married or seriously involved black man yearning for freedom to spread his seed to the white pussy. You see how this is probably not what Ms Angelo had in mind. -Bwahahahaa!- Ms Angelo.
