You are Black excellence
You are strength and soul
You are the truth that ancestors spoke of
The future of Black rising
Black surviving
Striving and succeeding
You are the formula
That will set the forthcoming free
You will be supernovas
Guiding others across the night skies
Showing them they have the opportunity to rise
Each effort you make will be a triumph
You will flourish and prosper
You will grow trees in places with drought
Like Wangari Muta Maathai
A Revolutionist and environmental activist
She fought for what she believed in, no she never hid
She faced adversity and overcame
And you will persevere in hardships without a doubt
Trials and tribulations will come
But you will walk through minefields
You will shed light on the world
Like Lewis Howard Latimer
He overpowered the obstacles
that came his way
You will whether storms
Like Ororo Munroe
Creating lighting
You will short circuit
Those that challenge your faith
You will dodge the bullets
the world throws at you
like Lucas Cage
Do not let barriers control you
Do not allow yourself to be caged
You will go far
miles upon miles
Leaders will be made out of you
You will gain power
Like Black Panther
Dominating screens
Helping Black Children
Dream giving life to visions
You are the futuristic innovators and creators
the worlds been waiting for
And one day you will hold wisdom
Shining, wearing the stretches of time
But for now, continue on
For the past is long gone
We only know each day once
Until another one comes
Each is fast approaching
So take each step now
And enter the future
