Unapologetically Black

It's 2020 and it’s not uncommon for a mother to watch her son become a hashtag because he's black

But the media won't mention that he was much more than that

Maybe that's why It's 2019 and it makes some uncomfortable that I am blacker than 12 AM during a waxing crescent moon

But God made me bright enough to illuminate rooms

It's 2019 and technically lynching was outlawed in 1968

But we only modernized the name

Though he didn't hang

Systemic lynching is still the same…
