Dear Black Queen, Black Lives Matter

They fear you
But there was a time when they brutalized and raped you
Then lied and call you whore like they did Recy Taylor
But now you got your own mind
You are educated and fed up with the bullshit
But still comply with the laws
And when you arm yourself righteously and mindfully
They still wanna decease your body
Hoping to silence you
But your ideas and soul will live on forever
You are far greater, a queen
They are inferior to you so they fear you
With beauty, pride, integrity and standards that continually rise
Your beauty is the most replicated
Your mind, the most hated on
As you steadily bring yourself up
Rising to every occasion
They only see it as hate towards them

So they feel scared
But your mind is educated
And you know the laws
You knew it would come to this
And now you another Shero who stood up for her own
Making a better way for you and yours
And if nobody else say it
I love you black queen
Never let these so-called housewives and video vixens be you or our young girls’ representation
We’re better than that
Just look at the great works all over Africa
And even here in America
There is a lot Black people have built and founded
But receive little to no credit
Leave it to historians, we were happy go lucky slaves
But that is the wrong mentality
That is the mentality of mainstream media
As they call us thugs and hoes
But call white mass murderers victims of mental illness
Now is time we take our power back and stand up for Ourselves
Reunite and forget all the color-isms for we are all black but just different shades of it
‘Cause aren’t we sick and tired of our black skin being labeled as a threat?
When we are just minding our business and living our life
As some Karen makes it her business to mind mine
As black bodies flood all over our timelines
‘Cause a cop felt threatened
Or gang member can’t shoot
Yet another black name becomes a hashtag
God only knows the exact count for many are swept under the rug as if their life didnt matter
Just like the strange fruit of our ancestors who built this country
Blood is on the slave masters’ hands
Blood is on law enforcement’s hands
They have been terrorizing our communities and people since the birth of this Nation
This Nation never intended to protect us
Or provide justice for US
They just keep adding to the body count
Adding blood to the soil
Adding more blood to their hands
But in vain your name will not be
Your name I will say
Your name I will remember
So Korryn Gaines, Pamela Turner, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Atatiana Jefferson, Shantel Davis and the many others
This is for you Queens
For it is in our hearts where you will live forever
Rest in power Queens
You got your wings now
Your beautiful spirits live on
The evils of this world can never harass you again
Fly high and may you rest in peace
