Dear Black Boy.
Can’t you tell how much
Us, The Black Women
Love you?
Don’t you realize that so many times we
Peel off the scabs continuously,
Waiting patiently to unlock
That unseen potential in you?
How many restless nights
Worrying sick about you?
Cursing universal laws,
How dare can the streets
Have more say
Than a peaceful life…
With Us, The Black Women
Growing old with you.
How many more times
Will unanswered cries
Be heard from these walls,
Every time our eyes connect
Through the glass…
Because prejudice leaked
Into the rich melanin like venom.
Your worth and value is unique
Like a mosaic,
Not one piece represents the whole, but
Only enhance segments of your story,
Black Boy
Just remember that you are significant!
Your future is rich in traditions
And natural medicine.
Memories that heal
Because black boy joy
Is magnetic and magnificent.
No limits of reasons to why
Loving you
Black Boy
You are deserving of untainted love
That saved kingdoms and empires.
Black Boy
Let nothing deter you from your
Rightful inheritance.
