To the mother they stole

To my mama they stole, I dont blame you for what was done You sacrificed your life for my childhood You fought for my right of innocence You spoke so I could have freedom It's not your fault You were just born black I'm not old enough to understand why But i do understand your love I feel it even in your absence I know I'm the child and your the parent But even black mothers deserve to be nurtured Your hugs were always the best medicine They always made this bleak world better When we can next visit I'll give all the hugs so you can be happier I promise to find a way To make the men with cuffs pay For taking my mommy away Love your 'sweet baby child' (As you always call me) P.s I love you
