The Beauty of Black Love
America do you want to know how to make America great?
Then respect the beauty of black love again
With the forces of revolutionary resilience
Proceed in taking the hand of the badgered black man
Watching the locking on to his long locks with the power fist
Of his black woman’s softened wrists
America do you want to know how to make America great?
Then respect the beauty of black love again
Consider ways to kiss the deflated chests of the very women
Whose breast became the wet nurse for privileged nose bleeders named, John, Steve, and Dear old Donald J.
Black women surviving rape from angry white men touching her with his tortured hate
America do you want to know how to make America great?
Then respect the beauty of black love again
Exact executive orders that peril the emancipation of provisional hearts
Mocked by menacing fools while their feet dangle from underneath the covers of your rancid mark
America do you want to know how to make America great?
Then respect the beauty of black love again
Sit at the table of former slave’s sons and daughters, cousins, and nephews
And listen to their black love spill over hot tea and biscuits
Sip the warm soup made from the stoves of brown heated
Soul Love;
Take a seat at black Moses’s table be the chair that deciphers the pillow talk of black folk
Sweetly say thank you to the parents of Treyvon Martin
For showing this world another picture of black love
Before Barack and Michelle Obama this indeed existed
Grandpa’s fanning at big mama’s grave
Big mama serving up swift words of knowledge
From the history of her “Negro” lips
Blowing kisses of unreserved joy
Gifting property plowed from the dirty feet of babies with made up last names
These same babies whence we call “grown ass” men and women now know how to make black love on front porches like their parents once did
Listening to storytellers forging songs by whistling in the air to deaf dogs
Sniffing their wet noses to the ground looking for black girls who left hand fist pump from the weight of her black daddy’s unbought pride
America do you want to know how to make America great?
