FINALLY I have the ear of the 'Town' I live in to a small degree.To bad a few young balck males had to get shot and killed on the street to have the Towns Conscienceness open a Lazy ear! This is from my NEW CHOREOPOEM PLATINUM DREAMS LEAD REALITY same name as my new book..I have read this in my 'Tightrope of Angels'series and my concrete chedda readings. I had all the Youngins Howling with Laughter.The Town I live in has a very Large 'Biracial'population.

White Girl please Bi racial kids most beautiful boys an Girls in the world got the Best of Both Black an White worlds sunset colored skin eyes from Blue to hazel colors cream to peach Colors of the Rainbow from Pretty to infinity as the eye can see. I tell my Golden boy How lucky he is . a lil water- perfect curls! lucky he wasn�t born a Girl. I tell him story�s when I was a kid Trapped, locked, between mama knees. Wishing I had a Glob of that Blue green grease Bulls eyed on the back of her hand to slide free. to quench the thirst in my painful untamed mane It was no game Below my shoulder she'd grab my runaway mane Axed it in half with a thick handle comb not for hours would the wind wing my hair to take flight it was always a fight for my life. Wrapped that hair round her arm holding tight I cried as a drop of that green greasy goop was applied. not enough to spare pain She wrestled me again and again Combing, ridding my waves. Until I dried my eyes and mustered a salty smile ��Now don�t you look beautiful�� Look at that luster shed� say as I ran to play Dredging the thought of the next day. Bi racial kids the most beautiful in the world Boys an Girls. sunset colored skin , eyes from Blue to hazel All colors from cream To moca ,almond, to peach Colors of the Rainbow. we already know. But YO! White girl learn how to comb ya black kids hair Love is to share no problem there. keep ya Blackman I don�t care But white girl please learn how to comb your Black baby�s hair. You in a Black world now It looks stupid when you try to talk An act black Back folks be laughing behind your back. With that southern hip hop tone We Black from The N.- Y.- C Not down Below DC or NEW -OR- LEANS. when People stare at you make sure the kid aint got that snotty nose Makes you look like a cheap Hoe. Black folks done covered to many roads To get a shameful stare. Love is to share keep your Blackman I don�t care But white girl please learn how to comb ya black kids hair. A fly-a- way heritage an a nappy attitude don�t do no use Nothing has changed because of you. your kid may look like you But the world don�t like darkness an got a real a KKK attitude. They may be light enough to blend in But they have to know their black history an where its been. All your trying to talk black seeking my acknowledgement don�t change a damn thing or where we been. We come from ASSASSINATED LEADERS No apple pies An POLITICAL CHEATERS. A street with lead staring eyes GUNPOWDER FIRE! a Social 'Tripwire' with Drive - by LIVES. Always living on the sharp edge of Society"s knife. A beat down, a shot. quicker than a lynching. A black person can loose their life. that�s what it�s like to Black in every political inning. Surviving Not Hustling stacks Low pay Work Being ��Merked�� Yes ! that�s what It�s Like being black. No matter what you want to Believe No matter what you want to see With Unicorn eyes and Marshmallow Fantasy�s Through eyes that have Lived the Fake systems social schemes or believed the promised Dream . Things aint the same for you an me BELIEVE me IT AINT ALL GOOD AN IT AINT ALL EASY. My ��Neezy�� .. Living in poverty From here to there. keep your Blackman I don�t care But white girl please learn how comb ya black kids hair! If you gonna stand by helping �� REP�� my race Remember were Proud Have your kid with Pride in his face. A History he can trace. EVERYBODY wants to be us but scared to take our place Cause we fought to hard to get our respect an Grace. Prepare you kid when cops wanna stomp an Mace to be STRONG. in the Job Place. When the word NO NO NO NO Keep�s being spit in your kids face. to keep their pride an sucess will find another way. If you wanna stand by repin my race Wipe that snot off ya kids face that shit look like a thick glass sculpture I know you aint 'tryin' to rep a Black mother. learn black pride. so youll know what to say when your kid comes home cryin. Be ya self an stop the Act you look stupid when you try to talk an act black. Girl it sound so WHACK! Black people be laughing behind ya back. Love is to share so Keep ya Blackman I don�t care But White girl PLEASE! learn how to comb ya black kids hair!

Carolyn ... although I do not understand all of your references, it was not necessary because I could hear your passion and fight. I have not seen the world as you have, but thank you for writing. I will read.

Kudos to you for this one! So true, too. Out here where I live, I see it happening both ways. White girls trying to act Black. and Black girls trying to act White, and their kids don't know what to be while the whole KKK world is laughing at them. I don't see everybody wanting to be Black, nor wanting to be White. What I do see is a whole lot of people who do not know how to be Themselves. And, of course, a whole lot of snotty-nosed kids with lousy hair jobs.

Write on!
