Dear Family

by LashundaLott

Dear Family

                                                                                                               

You thought you could beat me I rise,

You thought you could cheat me I rise,

The day you tried to take my joy I rise.

The day you tried to take my joy I rise,

You can try me,

I’ll rise like angles

                                                

Fix your hair,

Sit up straight,

Smile and nod,

Your opinion is not allowed

Don’t think,don’t speak

Stay in a woman’s place

You know nothing about politics

You’re a sex symbol in America

 

 

Sincerely,

Lashunda Lott
