~Rescue You~

Dedicated to all the Black men that are positive influences. Happy Black history month.

  To you with the chestnut smile

sun rays kiss you  in the morning

and I can smell your reflection vividly

upon those pearly white teeth of yours

 

There is no need to rescue you

you aren't in trouble

polaroid cameras were created for you

fastest way to duplicate your

immaculate image

your arms are like grape vines

covering me with your strong sense of masculinity

 

You must be a personal trainer

or perhaps a butcher

abs more cut up than meat at a market

Webster can't even define

your body's definition

 

See...you don't need to be rescued

if you were a cigarette

I would smoke the whole pack

if you're a bottle of alcohol

I would surely drink to that

if I could control the waves in the ocean

I would demand them to form your name

 

When you're around

all I see is those beautiful brown eyes

oh those eyes they tell a story

your story

you're a master

a leader in every form

a general in the army

front line warrior

ready for battle

you're unique

you're strong

you're my soldier

 

Your history is told through the braille

upon your backs

your ancestors were no were near weak

you don't need to be rescued
they need to be rescued

your oppressor needs to suppress his mind

fall down to his knees

and beg for forgiveness a thousand times

 

You're a king

You're loved

You're a Black Man

we need you

Only you can change the world
