Black Child
Watch out black child you
Know you've taken this tour before
You needn't become
A tourist in your own life
Black child full of strife
Fragileness and fearless species
Fatalities of police brutalities,
Factual positions of self defense
Makes no difference, scarcity of
Wellness and wealth is what we
Are up against.
What's the matter?
Yearly prison influx
And prisons are fatter
Black child don't listen to chatter
Sometimes relentlessly defiant
Sometimes insubordinate
Sometimes CHALLENGING authority
Go with GOD, healthy dinners and
Unspent wealth
You are more than you think.
Find your worth
Do you know you are sacred
Act now black child
Save your cares for later years
Save your tears for lasting fears
Keep this knowledge, that the world
Is not always kind, not even most
Of the times not ever most of the crimes
Nine run, run
Guns drawn, shot down
In the prime
In the struggle
At the time
Black child leads the statistical
Jagged line, a sacred legend
To the race, velvet space
Good love black child walk with
Dignity those whose DNA doesn't
Always shine on their skin
Cherish your grace. Black child
