Black Berry
Paul Francis
I sit back to look at what's happening It's nothing new since the days of slavery A black man can't eat his berry in peace In fear of being deprived of it He has to hide it up in his sleeves It's boggling to comprehend When will a black mans struggle to keep his head above water ever end? Imagine We're just sitting on the ends! A cop car pulls up In rugged voices they shout out Get down! And lie on your chest! Then they put their knees firm on our necks We lay there thinking, I'm black So what's next? One of us gets up to run He gets put down as a ravaging dog That escaped from its leash The police either gets punished for their actions Or just like Zimmerman Gets away free Sir. Malcolm and Sir. Martin fought the fight, and laid down a landmark To make a black life equal to the other color We are the fruits of their labor So let's be great juice sources For the next generation To have unlimited fruity things to squeeze For the generation afterward To enjoy a cool black berry drink without bother Wherever they so please!

She
STELLA RAYMOND
She holds a mystery in her eyes. She has a secret in her heart. She is as fierce as a lion. She is the Queen of her own world she lives in. She is strong as a tiger. She is brave as a warrior. She fights for all. She has an enthusiastic spirit. She asks questions. But She answers a lot more questions Than she asks. And She leads like a true hero. She is The wind of change or the Mistral that cuts through the clouds and Brings freshness and change all around. She has a charisma of her own. She is beautiful. She has the power to educate everyone around. She dedicates herself to the most. She guides her children to a better path. She has many faces, Vivid hues, Different attitudes towards different people, Many moods. But The storm in her heart rages as powerfully as it had been raging since the beginning. The fire burns inside her with the same intensity throughout. She is a Woman. She is an all-rounder. DEDICATED TO ALL WOMEN OUT THERE. HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY. #TSA2020 #8thMarch #HappyWomensDay #BestDay #Women #Feminist ************************
