Wakeup Black Man

Poem:  Wake Up Black Man

Black man, I see that you have 
lost your way -  

chasing after women of another 
race -  

I'm your black queen, but, what 
does that mean?

I'm not your first choice, so you 
look away -

I wish that you would see me, 
and be amazed!

I am beautiful all the way 
it's who I be - get with me

The one who's always here;
black like your mother who gave 
birth to you. 

Ain't I a woman too -

Black man, I know that your heart 
is far from your black roots -

to lust after women not of the 
same hue  -

Your choice of a woman is a lie -
It's shallow, and that ain't cute.

She's just a showpiece on display 
to feed an ego for all to see  -

I'm not that woman, nor will I ever
be.

A trophy woman to parade around
in the streets.

This black woman will not abandon 
you, for a man not the skin as you.

I'll always keep it one hundred; 
black, strong and true.

In prayer - In faith,  
never giving up hope for you.

Quit playing, come back home 
to your black roots. 

I'm your Queen 
You're my King

I'm holding it down 
straight up!
black and proud 

I'm that ride or die chick,
keeping it real
no games 
no tricks 

So wake up black man,
I got your back; 
cause I believe in you  -

I run to you
I'm here for you -

come for me....come for me
the one in the same skin as you  -

Ain't I a woman too
