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
