Dirt


These words are reincarnation of past quote

Black is beauty, beauty  is black, beauty I be because I be black, and black Ibe, so I be beauty

Full in the lips, broad nose

These features suit us

Light skin with weave 

I can't get with it

What was black before this?

Dark skinned, thick coarse mane of wild kinkiness

Like dirt

Like the dark substance we are 

Not that I'm Afro-centric

No I am one with Afro-prideness

For my pride rides

With my simple thought of what blcak beauty is
