This Should Not Be Happening In 2023

Forget being an anarchist Forget being a feminist Forget being anti racist Her body is swaying to the sound of music A man holds her waist and they dance His fingers go lower She swats them away She walks outside He finds a new target A drunk woman kisses her She pushes her away She puts her hands in her afro and says “you are the most beautiful Black girl I have seen”
