PAD Challenge Day 19: Blackbirds
PAD Challengd Day 19: Write an animal title poem.
Blackbirds
If we were blackbirds
Not royal African Descent
Could you would you
Attempt to steal our crowns
Wring our tails
Stretch our wings
Clip to oppress
then tie us down
If we were blackbirds
not black men, women,
Blackbirds
If we were blackbirds
Not royal African Descent
Could you would you
Attempt to steal our crowns
Wring our tails
Stretch our wings
Clip to oppress
then tie us down
If we were blackbirds
not black men, women,
and children
Would you could you
Call our black beauty
Would you could you
Call our black beauty
what you call it now
Mistake our magic as
Mistake our magic as
a sign of death
Toss itty bitty crumbs to
Detain us for your wealth
If we were blackbirds
Toss itty bitty crumbs to
Detain us for your wealth
If we were blackbirds
