Those Dreads

How dare you wear them in dreads on your head, it’s not a right, it’s a privilege and it comes with much responsibility.  Maybe you should be like Samson, cut em down and lose your power. Walking round talking nonsense, taking us back to them yester-years.  Forget looking like a symbol, what we need is some new black heroes. It took our fathers 400 year, blood, sweat and tears, to build that bridge; and now you’re trying tear it down, walking around here acting like a clown.  Pull them pants up, take a minute and just hush, buy a ticket to the National African American Museum, then maybe your feeble mind might just get it.  Loose them chains and activate your brain, if you wont represent , release the crown. Do you understand what it means to be black, black is not a color it’s an honor. So serve us up with, 2 sides of Martin and 16 ounces of Malcom. If you can’t comprehend, then check yourself in, into HBCU. Then maybe those dreads on your head might become a promise for tomorrow. If not, then check those dreads in!

Indeed. Black is not a fashion! It is a reality! Crowning Glory is not bought; its earned---reflected in being Black and Proud and "...a prolmise for tomorrow..." today! Thanks for sharing this well crafted message. One Love. One Peace. One Heart. mlowe5

Your words are our language perfected. The rhymes, prefixes, suffixes all align together towards a message of truth that I [and others] need to hear more of.
