Hey, what the hell you lookin at?
I know, I Know
You lookin at me
What?
You lookin at my hair?
Its "nappy" aint it?
Well I'm sorry if you don't approve
But I don't need to stretch my hair out
To feel Dark and Lovely
And I aint Hawaiian
So why the hell would I want to feel Hawaiian Silky?
And I don't need TCB
Because my
Thoughts,
Culture, &
Beliefs
Don't need to come out of no damn jar
And what the hell you lookin at?
You lookin at my skin?
Aint it Beautiful?
I guess I can't blame you
You probably wishin you had just an ounce of my color
Oh, my bad, I forgot
You dont't like to much color
Just a little here and there for show
And what the hell you lookin at?
My clothes?
Well, I dress a little different from you
With my Asante Cloths
And Africa's beauty bathing my body
Hell, I don't know Ralph
And I sure as Hell don't know Tommy
So why the hell would a beautiful black woman like me
Want to gloify some white man named Tommy?
WHAT THE HELL!
I loved this poem, I love the sentiment, if only more brown skinned peoples of America in particular but abroad as well would realize that we are absolutley everything we were meant to be just as we are. ... I really loved the layout and feelings radiating from this beautiful poem...
Keep it up.... cause I'm with you what the hell!
