Words of Black Culture

Sunday, February 23, 2014 Mellyssa A. Diggs 0 Comments

Born beautiful.
Living in urban communities.
Poverty and social injustice.
Stress, survival, and the struggles.

Large expanses of asphalt and concrete.
Always in the middle of the heat.
Natural Skin
Brownstone.
But unruly and unjustified by the tone of our skin.

We go through the emotional ups and downs.
Maximizing the affect on our lives.
Emotional connection and control.
Destruct the balance and stability of our culture.

Connection
Disconnection
Racial discrimination
We take the bulk of it.

We are judge by our color.
Spoken to like good olé rubbish.
Set away and chosen over someone less superior.

Life comes in words.
They may or may not be heard.
If heard...
Only to please the "white man".
If not...
It is long forgotten like our heritage and black history.
Somehow we have to get that back.
