To my brothers and sisters,
Trapped on the inside
This is for my Kings and Queens
I am a warrior fighting for you
Know that your demonstration has been seen
This is for my royal family
Strapped in the armor of golden skin
Do not become week
You are empowered with Melanin
This is statement full of hope
Yet wrapped in rage
Because no human being should be locked in a cage
And all people should be paid a living wage
So I will use my privilege on the outside like a stage
Calling out each brand that uses your labor to save
Your profuse-ness
Stripped me of all my excuses
I cannot allow myself
To be idle and useless
My heart screams
“This is your chance
Don’t loose this”
So I choose to stand
I refuse to shop, buy or eat
At any of these brands
