Black Girls Don'T Tell

Black Girls Don't Tell. And, we spend our lives, in a protective shell... a protective hell. Because, Because, Because,... Black girls don't tell. Not on the daddies, the uncles, the cousins the brothers,....THEIR FRIENDS! Black girls don't tell... When that hand extends, when that touch offends, when every action transcends... And, that sin... Well, that sin, becomes OUR sin! That extra, friendly, neighbor man, who sits at the park. That touchy, feely, cousin, who visits, after dark. That preacher, who pulls you into his office... Because GOD told him that y'all should pray. And pray, And pray, And pray. But, he's tight with GOD, right? So, what can you say? NOTHING!!! That's what he said, GOD said... or, you'd burn in hell! So, telling is OUT OF THE QUESTION! No...., Black Girls Don't Tell.

such a sad write on child abuse - its not just black girls it's written about all children who are being abused. wish they would catch these evil people lock them up and throw away the key - what they do affects the young person's life forever. Hugs Jan xxx
