Blackness has nothing to do with how I walk or talk We may have those things in common Blackness has nothing to do with what I consume Though we may have those things in common Blackness has nothing to do with who I vote for Or who I date Black is a color Nothing more Nothing less Born with the right to express myself on any human level On any side of the wide spectrum One of many who has walked this earth to witness the misled tonedeaf who in recent history call themselves white Who oddly believe that they are called right And at the right place & time I will be wrong.
