justice

i know my words
can't heal the broken hearts
or wipe the tears
from the eyes of my brothers and sisters,
but my god,
please provide us with
the strength
to not break down
at the fists of our oppressors.
give us the ability to see
peace between one brother to another,
and allow us to continue bonding together
and spreading our souls
to each other
like blankets,
continue spreading our truth
for justice.

Africa (Brown is Beauty)

beauty.
descendants of
the melanin rich
motherland.
the birth of
royalty.
the holder of beauty.
the country of
grace,
strength,
constant beginnings
after attempted endings.
brown will always
be beautiful.
we will always be
thankful
for your giving.
