Deep Roots and Sweet Juice | The Inked Perceptions

Deep Roots and Sweet Juice
Deep Roots and Sweet Juice
I’ve never loved the texture of my hair this much
The swing of my hips and enhancement of melanin in my skin that comes only from
Summer sun
Never before has my soul ached for the familiar misery of a Negro Spiritual
Nor have I ever felt tears of joy due to the laughter of my Black brothers and sisters
I’ve failed history test in school system, state and country that failed to speak about my
history honestly
Probably why I couldn’t count on one hand the number of Black inventions I knew about
until recently
But I’m blessed enough to still be breathing and am on a journey to read the wool off my
eyes
This isn’t a battle of the races it’s a movement to achieve justice
Because let freedom ring should’t just be lyrics we sing but also our reality
