Equality

Smile Black Queen!

One, two, hey y’all

Three, four, hello everyone

Same thing, different lingo

Straight hair, Curly hair

Same thing, different lingo

Culture is watered down

Don’t be too black, they say

What does that mean?

There’s no such thing!

Yet rules have been set for me

You are enough!

You are not manly!

You are not less than!

You are not too strong!

You are not undesirable!

Strength like that of an Eagle

Your beauty transcends season

Your pain when watered blooms

Yes I am a woman, Yes I am black, No I am not always angry

And my voice matters
