Magic

Our black is beautiful It's not just a color It's us as a whole supporting each other You don't know the magic The whispers of our name Just like storms We have overcame People used us Abused us Back fifty years ago They thought they ruled us Then when we had a team Who had a dream Should I remind you his name Dr. Martin Luther King He was the one with the dream The one with education He helped with the movement To put an end to segregation He said in one of his speeches That we should not be judged by our skin But the content of our character That was the truth We have the power Let's put it to use I love everybody There are so many tears of happiness I am so proud That we are winning I can say it out loud You are beautiful You are amazing You are the best And that's not shading We have different shades different views We have the tools To unscrew and solve the problem No longer have to run no ducking and dodging We can walk Rip the runway With our head up everyday People said we couldn't do it We couldn't follow our dreams Look at us now we just had five winning queens Miss USA , Miss Universe,Miss Teen ,Miss World , and Miss America Titles amazingly beautifully made they let us see dreams come true Just be authentic most of all be you Make up is nice it adds a touch Embrace yourself love you as much This time I just want to embrace this moment we are in Love deeper than your skin This was just a poem to tell you That you can do whatever you put your mind to Written by: Concetta Hardnett 12/13/2019
