Honey Bunches of Ebony Love
Title
Honey Bunches of Ebony Love
Description
White face, full of tempestuous rage
Stuck staring at vibrant, beautiful people, not things, once and still encaged
Deceit and self-depreciation are steadily consuming our nation
From the single-raced, hatred misplaced, congregations
To active gangs 'n the white on black, barrel pointed at our young, mutilations
Kindness needs infectious spirits, how about that golden reciprocation?
We remain tinkering in Agent Orange's poisoned ignorant ignition
Bow down to the proud, successful, unstoppable Black, Brown people of America, show earnest contrition
A lifetime of offensive rhetoric
Concrete faith in more than the fat cat politics
Rise up, we must, contradict this evolving script!
