LOVE

by Ashanta K. Gleason/EGO

Black Love is deeply rooted to eleutheromaniac expressions from a past of: genoicide and bondage We grew From a land of blood and tears, And just as a tree, we fell Selfishly To those who profit off the fruit That germinates from seeds of our love But suga, they forget that This love is needed for all mankind to: Be.

Black Love shines so bright after centuries of it being: Terrorized, Dictated, Muzzled, by the plaited series of knotted leather. But Honey, like the moon, Even when our love can’t shine, It’s always here.

Black Love strengthens from trauma, But darling, it is free: We run Free to a land of milk and honey.
