To be black. (a poem ig)

Do you like my hair? No?

Well, now it's trending because Kim Kardashian had the same style. 

My bonnet is ghetto? Well, now it's called a 'silk head wrap' and everyone has one.

Do you like my music? It's too violent? Well, suddenly it's cool and trendy

Do you like my language? No?

Well now it's called TikTok slang.  

Do you like my  grillz? Too flashy? Well now everyone wants them.

Steal? I don't do that. Read? I can do that. Write. I do that too. 

Suddenly I'm trying to be white. No.

Suddenly I'm better "than the rest of my kind"

No.

Culture is ment to be shared. Not to be broken down and the  stolen.

Thats not "reinventing" it's theft.


(Guys was this cringe??))
