Black.Girl.Future.

What is the future of a young black girl
who falls into the pit of this hollow black world?

Does she cry at night, with hopes to see a new tomorrow? Or does she rebel against the idea of happiness and dwell in sorrow.

What is the future of young black girl who has pride the size of a mustard seed. She feels ignored because no one cares about what she needs.

She searches for a way-for a light at the end of the tunnel, but as the days progress, she sees the light less. A hopeless lost treasure is what she will turn out to be.

What is the future of a young black girl
who's mother has done all that she can,
who's father wishes he could,
who's brother is buried ten blocks away,
who's sister is misunderstood?

Does this girl even have a future?
Will she ever find her way?
If you see this young black girl
grab her hand and ensure that in God's hands she will stay.
