Black Roses
By: Devon Hicks
Your memorizing look reminds me of a black roses
Babygirl your beautiful from your head to your toes
Black is beautiful
You are descendants of Kings and Queens
There’s greatness in your genes
Your smile is like a emerald gleaming
Your skin is rich like a French coffee bean
Your presence deserves respect
Last time I checked
We’ve been neglected
Always rejected
People come at our necks
It creates a negative affect
But then a black president was elected
I love him so much, I respected
With my heritage I feel connected
But people love to spread hate, there hearts are too infected
Love and peace is the cure
Your skin isn’t a curse it’s pure
Oh my beautiful black rose
You’re outstanding and it will show
