Ebony love: Darker than a thousand midnights

 
Ebony love,
yea you,
nappy-headed lil girl, with the big eyes and ashy elbows,
darker than the deepest chocolate and twice as sweet,
yea  you,
ebony love,
with the blond streaks and the blue contacts covering your beautiful jet blackeyes,
hiding your beauty behind a false impression and impersonation of who you are,
why you think she always in the sun and go to jamaica and get her hair corn-rowed?
why you think he crossed oceans and seas to kidnap you?
you didn't know? still don't know?
you are the prize,
yes you, 
black gold? huh.
it ain't oil, it's you.


Dedicated to all the dark-skinned little girls who need to be told they are beautiful women. Ya dig?
