Black Power [Poem]

Black Power.

There’s more power

in unity.

The royalty,

it speaks for itself,

so fluently

400 years of

mistreatment, so brutally

it’s been a long time coming,

real long, like eulogies

since back in slave ships,

filled with sickness & nudity,

to when MLK & others

paved a way for you & me

we walk around with pride,

unshaken & lucidly

we ain’t completely free,

so don’t vibe so foolishly

The melanin that makes up our skin,

yes you & me,

‘s worth more than any gold,

VV’s, or jewelry

Even in the face of

bad times & cruelty,

we shake back,

they hate the fact

that we’re strong,

can’t ruin me.

But regardless of that,

here is a fact, and truthfully,

we were made in love,

It exceeds,

just you & me

Freedom.

Just as much as was needed,

so crucially,

should be countered back with love

from above, not humanly

We’ve progressed from

where we once were...

or where we used to be,

& to that hate,

we’ve developed a sense

of immunity

It won’t stop here,

but it’s bout time for you to see

That being black is powerful,

both assertive & soothingly

though underdogs to society,

we triumph, continually

& the flavor we posses,

it affects

communities

We should use that power

to eliminate truancies,

and hold each other accountable,

"and that’s on inexcusably".

Love is hard,

but like Mario

it turns out so beautifully,

'cause I'd crush Bowser time again

to have Peach

in the coupe with me.

Black Power.
