I WONDER
I wonder,
Why is black bad and not good,
I Wonder,
Why are our skins labelled black and not brown,
I Wonder,
when places go dark, why is called a black out, shouldn't a forest be called a green out,
I wonder,
why do a white flag represents peace but a black flag represent war,
I Wonder,
what is black magic
And why is it evil, is this the reason you see a threat when you look at black people,
I Wonder,
What is a black thought and why isn't it called a bad thought,
I Wonder,
Why are good prisons called white collar, but the bad prison are just prisons, is this our natural state, Am I meant to wear chains and be locked behind gates,
I wonder,
Why on black Friday things are cheaper in the stores, are my values cheaper than yours,
I Wonder,
Why are black neighborhoods called the hood,
Are you afraid of the dark, the way I am afraid of blue and red flashing roof,
I Wonder,
Do you know
Black is beautiful, black is rich, black is not crime, Let's all just shine like this black skin of mine.
