In this month
When we celebrate black history
In the UK
I’d like to salute the achievements of my fellow black people
I’d like to acknowledge the sacrifices and struggles they have been through
The joy and love they bring to the world
Their contribution to civilisation and culture in every shape and form
Their inventions and innovations that have helped shape the world
My one request as we move forward
On the road called life
Is that we support and encourage each other
That we don’t hate and undermine
To bring someone down to make ourselves feel better
Let’s be beacons of love and hope
Showing our children and future generations
That there is a bright future
Where hopes and dreams can be fulfilled.
Happy Black History Month!
Please share and stay blessed xx
