Sacrifice

Sacrifice
Where I observe
Many black people
Who fight for
White folks instead of
Their own….

The disrespect…

I see
Black people
Who are willin
To defend those
Who don’t give a shit
About our black ass

But they don’t wanna
Hear what everybody is
Sayin
They don’t care,
They love white people
Asians
Arabs
Hispanic
I mean every single race
Except our own damn selves

Black people
Sacrifice
They go where
The white people
Go…and not be at

Our own table
Cos we’re ghetto…
We don’t know how
To speak proper English
Yet, we act white
We bleach white

Black people
Made sacrifices
To be more whiter
And not closer to black

Cos they beat us up
Beat us to the punch
Shushin us about racism

It’s the sacrifice for white folks
And other races but not for
Black people….

Does pluck my nerves like dead
Petals off a flower….

FRANKY BEVERLY

How can you not love
Your melanin skin
How can you not love
Your own people?
How can you not?

Why do you think
There’s somethin wrong with
Your coils, your wide nose
Your beautiful big lips?

There’s nothin wrong with
You, not a fuckin thing
You’re stunnin
The sun makes all the melanin
Poppin….

The universal made you
This color, dark light
With gorgeous African features….

Do you know what it is?
White supremacy
Imprinted
Self hate
Upon
Your
Bones.

They want you to
Hate
Yourselves
And love that
Paleness instead,

Love
All things white
Love
All lives white
When this whiteness oppress
Us
For centuries….

If you believe
God
Well god was like
I made you
Black
I made myself
Black
Cos
I have melanin
All melanin
And I love myself
I love myself to
Make my children
With melanin….

Now
My children
Listen to their own
Kids that created a system
That abuse them Tellin them
To hate themselves

You think god shook his head
And was like my civilizations are
So brainwashed
They were the first ones who were there
On earth?

Why disrespect?

Black people
Stop the bleachin
Stop the lightenin
Stop the colorism

Just stop….

You’re black and beautiful….
You’re magical
You’re youthful

And many don’t realize
How stunnin
We are, look at our texture kinks
So soft
See our noses they’re cute
What about lips…they hold our great smiles…

We’re the blueprint

The funny thing about it…

Other races are tryin
To be us…they want our black
They wanna be us
They wanna be just like their parents
Which is us…the original…

People of all ethnicities, races, ages, sex/gender, regardless of their social status.
Dolly Parton just kicked the bucket right behind Tony Bennet and countless other celebrities and common people as well. Yeah I know, you don't beLIEve it has anything to do with the vaccine. Well you can beLIEve what you want to. The vaccinated are on borrowed time.

Universe or creator or whatever God you believe in made us black. This could be a poem about reminding black people how beautiful we are🙌🏾🫶🏾✨️

Can the Man of my dreams
Could be my guardian angel?
It’s possible
I don’t see why not….
After all
He’s got love in his heart…
He’s got passion in his soul…
He’s kind
He’s sweet
One day
We’ll meet
And suddenly
Fall for each other
Without
Gettin
Hurt….
