28 Days

Every 365 days.....
For 28 days
We celebrate
Our culture..that's cool...but what's not so great
Mainly during that time we elevate..
Awareness of our beautiful skin....
How the strength and courage just flows from within...
We relegate to times that brothers and sisters together were marching....
I don't know...but I'm starting
To think is this right?
It feels more like a slight!!!
At least in my point of view....
Like myself if you...
Have never seen Alice Walker's The Color Purple...what better time to!
Or even Alex Haley's Roots....
Seems like deja vu....
Like clockwork....even Walgreens
Is running specials on products used primarily by Black folk...
Is that a joke?
I'm not saying this to provoke
Any bashing...
I'm just asking
who's next
In order to embody the future we must breed success...
Education....education.....education....
That's the equation....
Don't get it twisted...
I appreciate the struggles of those who existed
Before me..
See...
Without them I wouldn't have the freedom we
Sometime take for granted....
Neither will I allow myself to be disenchanted
And say I'm proud of where it seems some of us are going...
I'm hoping and showing
That there will no longer be a mystery...
When it comes to Black History
