primary colors

by manuela

By lily florPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

these thorns poking me, resulting in animosity

fondled by the color blue and it's primaries

flowers juggled instantly muffled

pigs sniffing out the the poor and the humbled

black people dying left and right and nothing's changed

a revolution is whats gonna take to flip the game

I ain't even mean to talk about the damaged that's been made

but are we blind to the way that 4 walls legalized slaves?

these thorns poking me, resulting in animosity

the pink hue embedded in the door under me

I opened up and walked thru the vibration of my clarity

a thousand of these pigs ain't stopping me

I fight for my species,

so the next generation will suffer less than we did

don't you dare give up on your people

because if they would have given up on us

we would all still be sex slaves to white people

so say it with brown, black and all of our colored people

we will not stop fighting until we are all equal
