Black Child Poem by Val Brooklyn Rogers black panther

Watch out black child you
Know you've taken this tour
Before. You needn't be a
Tourist in your own life
Black Child full of strife

Fragileness and fearless
Species. Fatalities of police
Brutality. Factual positions
Of self defense. Makes no
Difference, scarcity of
Wellness and wealth is what
We are up against.

What's the matter?
Yearly prison influx
and prisons
Are fatter. Black Child don't
Listen to chatter.

Sometimes relentlessly
Defiant sometimes
Insubordinate.
Go with God, healthy dinners
And unspent wealth

You are more than you think
Find your worth
You know you are sacred
Act now black child

Save your cares for later years
Save your tears for lasting fears
Keep this knowledge that the
World is not always kind, not
Even most of the times not
Ever most of the crimes

Nine run run
Guns drawn, shot down
In the prime
In the struggle
At the time

Black Child leads the
Statistical jagged line
A sacred legend to
The race velvet space
Good love black child

Walk with dignity those
Whose DNA doesn't always
Shine on their skin
CHERISH YOUR GRACE
BLACK CHILD
