if you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you're fooling yourself. That's like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn't eat him.


Dear Black girl
I came here to make a proclamation
For your emancipation
Because you’ve fallen victim to the restrictions
By the media perpetuation of reality
Telling you to believe in a fallacy
Oblivious to a war where your mind is the casualty
When will you realize with your real eyes
You’ve been giving the crumbs of the American pie
A Kingless queen cause society’s letting her King die
Settling for less has become a black woman’s religion
Looking for a man in her father that’s missing
So the only time you’re praised is when you’re twerking or stripping
You take pleasure in being degraded for monetary gains
Just to ease your chronic pains
looking in the wrong places for conformation
Ignorance has been embedded in your mind
To think a bad b**** is now an occupation

It was an act of random thought based on the type of young black women I came across everyday
