Title: Summer 2027
Posted On: 2014-12-27 04:19:52 UTC
There were white robes burning amongst the sky Molotov cocktails gave light to the city Chanting the songs of desperate unity A melody could be felt by the revitalized community Hugs synonymous to reuniting with long gone heart mates Eyes were filled with the sweat of those who secured heartache After realizing equality wouldn't keep melanin safe The minds of the architects of the pyramids found present space When they brought up segregation in 2025 We agreed to sign our nation on the line To depend on each other was a necessity overdue Equality and justice were never witnessed by the colorful hues We tried a relationship and you broke our heart and souls literally Education of self-hate to love false images To love hair that grows towards heaven and not assimilate to hair that grows towards hell We see our ex's in public and greet subtlety and wish well We asked for love and respect We fought to keep the relationship But you can't love what you don't understand And you can't love who you don't understand This is the break up letter The letter that didn't want to be written Segregate politics, banking, and the education system Only black cops will respond to black children An abusive relationship with you can no longer be tolerated Our mother knows we're beautiful Our father knows we're intelligent But our relationship here, you make the obvious irrelevant So, as Summer 2027 breezes by We still don't forgive you We will never ask for your help again ...wish it could've worked out.
