They kill black men to grab your attention,

They take away your fathers and brothers,

They find the root of your support system and kill it,

They want you to fear giving birth,

They destroy the minds of growing black men so they have nothing to offer,

They tie your black men to a system that forever follows them,
So even when your black man wants to change…he can’t,

They kill us to break your heart,

They want to give you the fear to never experience this again,

They hope you choose not to birth and raise another black man,

They know the only way to get rid of us is to get rid of you,

This is the message they’ll attempt to send you,

Black woman.
