Mirrors
   Mirrors
      Mirrors -

What we need
      Is mirrors -

A world full
       of
mirrors -

        To reflect 
our strength,
        courage,
determination
        and
black unity -
     
         Like
Sojourner Truth,
         she was 
a mirror -

          Like
Rosa Parks,
          she was
a mirror -

           Can't 
imagine our
           black
family's
           existing
without mirrors -

           Barrack
Obama,
            He is
a mirror -

            Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.
             He was
a mirror -

             If there were
no mirrors,
             what would
become 
            of a
black child's
           dream's -

 What we need
           is mirrors,  
             A world
full of 
             mirrors -
