My friend NovelTee has been a guest writer on Sancti-Fly Mama quite a few times. The other day she told me one of her black male friends was going through some issues. He told her that he really needed some positive energy. She wrote the poem below for him. When I read it I asked her if I could share it on SFM. It was so soothing and REAL. I read her poem over and over again. I dedicate this poem to all the black boys and men. I want them to know that they are important to us, they are LOVED, and they are NOT savages. They have a family; mothers, brothers, fathers and sisters who care about THEM; who pray for them. They are the black experience...they live it EVERYDAY! They are human beings and deserve to be treated as such! They are powerful, spiritual and abundant. We believe in them!
Smile because they don't want you to. There is nothing more fascinating to me than to see a handsome, intelligent, spiritual, passionate, informed, black man smiling. Faced with so many obstacles and overcoming stereotypes with your brain and not your braun. Killing them instead with your ability and knowledge. You are a threat to them because you are whole with yourself. You are connected to a higher power that says you can because he wills it so. You are unstoppable. You are a king. Reign and Rule, my love. That is your right.
Please feel free to overshare this poem! "Reign and rule my loves...that is your right”
