BLACK CHAINS

black cosmic chain link

By Kaaliyah ReynaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Still dont know what I'm looking for but I know what I found back there.

It's a weird enchanted blessing in disguise that most of us dont recognize until the feeling becomes idolized.

Why do we continue suppressing ourselves,

slowly dying while allowing our opposites to arise?

Still learing to let go, just like all the others

n this chain didn't stop with my ancestors no

they came even harder but were never given their credit.

Ever heard of the saying "they fear a black man on a horse because then they'd have to look up at him."

"Stand for something or you'll fall for anything," just as Malcom X said.

Shit will go misunderstood but my people were brought up, chained up, repressed then arose again.

CHAINS ARE MEANT TO BE FUCKING BROKEN.
