Black Lives Matter - Anthem Poem by Ripuree Rip

Black Lives Matter—Anthem

Black People the world over
The words black/blackness, dark/darkness
Have all been criminalized, demonized and contaminated
And the collective impact on the black psychic is severe
Thus we're universally self-hating, demoralized and debased.

And we'll matter to no other as a people
When we decry the images we see in our mirrors
To the point where black girls preferr white dolls over their own images
Thus embracing a fraction of another image, instead of 100% of themselves

This does not mean we should not interact and intermarry
But we should not do so out of self hate
It is now understood that there's just one race of humans
And not the many races that racist whites once believed.

No longer should we do the same things the same ways
While expecting different and better results
We must now delete the lies of race-debasing indoctrination
Even if it came from the Good Book of God

Our skin organ is filled with emotional mechanics
As well as our hair that kinks like DNA
So to predominantly perm, weave and straighten our crowning beauty
Removes true power as Samson realized

We live in a universe consisting mostly of dark matter
And without it, planets, stars, and all else would implode
So black and dark could never be cursed and sinful
As many have translated the Bible to imply.

Western dictionaries promoted that black meant:
Evil, wicked, worthy of condemnation, and immoral
And this; when internalized over centuries
Manifested as us disconnecting from ourselves

More self-destructive programming also surround us daily
Which we must transcend, by rebooting with truth
Black could never mean sin on a sun dominant planet
And in a universe where Dark Matter dominates

Any God would've known that dark energy is crucial
When black melanin she infused in prototype mankind.
Black as sin is therefore a brutal hoax; black people
To infect, disunite and keep us respecting all but ourselves.

In dark wombs all mammals are created
And minds and bodies are renewed; from sleeping in dark
Black and dark are not unnecessary inconveniences, therefore
That white and light can dissipate

Alignment to self-love must be our first line of protection
From physical, psychological and mental distress
No longer should we focus on the deflection and projections
from others,
To keep us weakened and confused.

So no longer quiver youthful black brothers
When you 'face' a world that wants you to tremble in fear
Love your skin, your hair and work to uplift each other
And exchange guns, gangs and drugs, for Love of Self and all

No more skin-bleaching black people
You lose youthful radiance as well as healing power when you do
Black is right for us, as red, white and brown are right for others
So know that! and display self love and acceptance to all.

We're vibrational beings in a vibrational field of eternal energy
Always emitting vibes, of what we think about the most
No longer can we afford to fear the injustice of White Supremacy racism for example
Since we'll daily attract more of what it sets out to unleash

So be aware of gut feelings please brothers and sisters
When the sound of a siren or men in blue approach
Know that you have the right to be free from the racist injustice of white supremacy racism, when faced with the law enforcers
Then let love for self and others dominate every space you share.

Daily attention to self-love first, and feeling joyful
Will gradually become the default you attract and emit
Until it will matter not if Black Lives Matter to any other
Since you'll always consider first; what's best for yourself.
