Black joy vs the world
They hate us not because we’re bad but because we are everything they cannot be
Because while they stew in their own misery
Formed from their own jealousy
We live life fully
Because that’s the beauty of Black people
We create joy where joy has been locked out
Then try to hide it through false superiority
Whilst trying to convince the world and themselves
That being black equaled inferiority
Because if black people were truly inferior there’d be no need to work this hard to suppress us
Because while they drown in the rain
We dance in it
We take each rain drop
To feed the earth that breeds life
That brings joy into our existence
Just like black people
We paint the blue back into the sky
We make the flowers bloom just through our smiles
The trees come to life as soon as it feels our presence
We are the love the earth craves
So when we give it
It's gives gratitude through elemental beauty
They seethe in anger
Their spirits Soaked in venom
Jealous
That nature is on our side
How it enhances our beauty
But dies in the presence of their hate
They hate not having control of the earth
And it's reaction to their existence
Because their egos can't handle the thought
Of being lesser than a black person
To which they use their tears
To poison the ground
The ignorant feed of
To distort their image
Of who is the real villain
But that's what happens when you build a system
Funded by racism
That has been around longer than intellectualism
