I'm so sick of the justice system being so "just us." My people constantly locked in or locked out. Blissful ignorance chose by so many with white skin. So many could care less, and still others choose to ignore and block out...oh so careless.
Maybe I've been blessed with complexion
But what is complexion without beauty?
Elfin soul,brace oneself and set off on the wrong direction
But what would direction be without way and way without love and cruelty?
Ebony
Noun
A heavy blackish or dark brown timber
I am ebony
Also known as a jewel
You would be considered a fool
If you didn't see me as beautiful
Look in the dictionary and
'What is it that disgusts you so much?
Is it my outer layer that you despise?
Or is it my deep dark almond eyes?
Oh how lovely would it be to be considered beautiful.
If only I had skin of butterscotch.
i sat in my imagination
recreated music videos
imagined my skin bleached
by the lights
as the music made my hair
feel long,
It come in an array of body sizes
with a structure capturing other
ethnicity eyes.
Although in a negative disguise,
a black woman’s butt was seen as a disgrace.
Now look all over the place.
