Cry with me?


Who is going to cry with me? Who is going to cry with me for the black child who have been given no hope. Thirsty for knowledge and guidance, but only receiving false prophets and media corruption. Desensitized to the importance of life and unaware of the joy of living. Forced fed hate and violence, materialism and vanity, Complacency and selfishness, self hated and destructive images.

Who is going to cry with me for my black women? The only demographic to be loved by no one. Look down upon because they are black, disregarded because they are women and disrespected because they are objectified. And even the ones they love so much, are the ones that disrespect them and put them down the most; The black man. All this negative imagery causes them to even hate themselves, so now they can’t even love each other. Strong enough to endure so much negativity and raise a family on her own, she is still not able to recognize her worth and take her place as the mother of this earth.

Who is going to cry for the black man… No one, until he learns how to cry for himself, his women and his children. Until he realized that the strength of his tear can wash away the plight of all others. So I am going to start crying to begin the healing. Who is going to cry with me?
