Black Women

why our hate?

Black Women ..... my sistas why does the world feel

that it has the right to hate us ?

Black Women .....my sistas we are

the back bone of this country

Always taking care of everyone else

but yet

the minute we take time for our selves..... its frowned on.

Black Women......my sistas since the beginning of time it seems

we are told that we can't be and that we should settle

for what we have but yet the slightest instance

of wanting more and we are labeled as

Demanding or Angry.

Black Women.... my sistas

when will others stand up for us

as we have done countless times for others,

When will we be protected and not have to worry

about others constantly showing

their hate for us.

Black Women ....my sistas when

will they listen to us and not revile us.
