People
Get confused
Because
Society
Likes to pretend
It's the mirror
But that mirror
Is wrong
So often
The world
Beset by bad luck
(Broken mirror y'all
follow me)
Would fall
Into chaos
Anarchy, even.
First of all
The black woman
Any woman!
Should never ask
Who's the finest
She should know
Intrinsically
Irrefutably
I'm the finest
Because looking for answers
Outside
Only invites ignorance
Jealousy
Greed
And LIES
The truth is
The simple truth is
EVERY woman is so FINE
If she comes into her own power
The question
Itself
Is an artifact
LET IT BE AN ARTIFACT
Acknowledge
That beauty
Equals humanity
And humanity
INHERENTLY
Is equal.
