As the colorful display lights the sky
And God Bless America plays
Take a moment to remember
Remember that on this day
A day that many people celebrate
It is also a day that not everyone can relate
Relate to the feeling of pride and freedom
Love for a battle won
That battle won was only for some
Those melanated Kings and Queens were still
In chains
Destined to sacrifice for another 2 years
And years to come as the physical became mental prisons and modern day lynchings
Replace the plantation with projects
Slave masters with white supremacists with a badge
Throw in the school to prison pipeline
and most importantly
Separate the King’s from the Queens
As long as they are not together America shall have its freedom
After all 3/5ths of a person couldn’t possibly need freedom
So yes, let the fireworks shower across the sky and God Bless America play
As we celebrate NOT MY INDEPENDENCE DAY
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Have you ever read the Declaration of Rights of the Negro People of the World? Declaration 39 gave us the Red, Black and Green on August 13th 1920. August 13, 2020 will be the 100th anniversary of that event.
