February.
28 days
29 on a leap
to learn specifically about me
my people
my past
my present
my future
i relearn stories i’ve heard
every year since 1st grade
martin luther king
rosa parks
malcolm x
do they not realize
we are more than those three names
do they not remember
we built this country, quite literally
do they not see
we are black year round
but how untrue this is
they see, remember, realize
they simply don’t care
