Last night I held my son until he fell asleep in my arms
Rubbed his head and
Repeated prayers in his ear until he awoke

He wiped my tear as it rolled down my check
Sang the Barney song and gave me a hug

I told him I loved you
He told me he lobed me to

But how do I tell him
There is no way that I can properly prepare you.
How do I teach you to be confident and independent?
in a society that with out justifiable reasons
will castrate you
rape you
beat you
imprison you
and kill you
with little to no punishment or justice

When is the right time to tell you?
That you are on your own in this society
When do I tell you that your black skin is a threat?
All on its own

All men are at risk in these days
Where officers are trained to kill
and cuff
And ask question later

But Black me are endangered
And I don’t see no buttons
I aint seen no stickers
But they are surly
most definitely
killing Black Men
