Dear America
Inspired by my Ancestry...
Dear America,
As I look back over the history...
My eyes swell with tears and bitterness,
Why kidnap and bring us here?
America is supposed to be the land of the free...
But their cost is our souls
And they smile with glee...
We changed the regulations
And now they can not believe...
What was meant to hurt us has established us free?...
Now we will rule as Kings and Queens
We were meant to be...
Assess me with the things I need
And I'll Fly Like Phillis Wheatley!
What's meant to halt you
Was a Blessing in disguise...
No longer can you capture and steal our pride!
The joke was on you...
Build me up as a mistake,
But you can't Break me down...
My melanin skin is my crown 👑
Thank you to my Ancestors,
For showing us, to
Learn it their way
But Do it our way!
I wish I Could take back the pain,
But If I do then we wouldn't have a name!
So we learned to grow with the change
And changed the pain!
Christ Died for our Togetherness...
Many sacrifices Stood up for instability,
Never again will we wear our skin in Shame!
Kill us or shoot us down
But you have to live with the annoyance
Of never getting Rid of us!
Still, we rise and take more accomplishments under our name...
With a Smile and a Crown
We will Remain!
Ps. Equality
