By: Cedric McClester When black lips Are out of fashion Can you imagine The corrective action White women take To get it cracking And how much they’ll have to take away When big ***** become passé When black women Start to respect themselves And leave wigs and extensions On storeroom shelves You’ll see their true beauty If nothing else And their false ideas of what it is Begins to melt When beauty standards Begin to change And they starts to have A wider range The metamorphous May at first seem strange But nobody should feel Short changed When we realize The human race Isn’t measured by Just one face And that everyone Has their place The inner self Will start to be embraced Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2016.
