BY GLORIA O’KOYE
Dear black boy
I want to rearrange star-crossed stories
Of your existence
To protect you
You rather carry the burdens of the world in silence
Having the Dead Sea grow
While putting a smile
That can make Aten jealous
Dear black boy
I love you
Come,
Let’s swine and dine
Engulf in liberation
Sit up front,
Reading the book called ‘Rose and Parks’
While they stare and whisper.
Deserve to reap rewards from The Land of Milk and Honey
Don’t allow altered history
Have you forget your inheritance
Of bathing in glory
Dear black boy
I need to see you win
I need to see your smile.
See your growth
You’re the foundation
Of what makes
Our people rejoice with pride.
Dear black boy
Always remember that I love you…
We love you!
You are not alone…
You are surrounded
With heroes,
Who would pave the universe
Because we will never forget about you
To my dear
Black
Boy!!
