My People are More

My people are more. 
More than rap stars and jail birds
video vixens and baby mama’s 
we encompass every professional and artistic sector. 
We are diversity in it's purist definition.

My people are more.
Our characteristics run the gamut 
from big noses to narrow ones
from brown eyes to blue
from tall and lean to thick and voluptuous
from dark to light.
We are the unscathed definition of beauty.

My people are more.
We are opinionated, 
passionate.
Fighters.
Educators.
Creators. 
Lovers.
Friends.
Family.

My people are more.
We are the nation’s reason for life
the nation’s 
Unappreciated 
Underrepresented 
Unrecognized backbone.

My people are 
the symbol of the earth
the symbol of the heavens 
and the symbol of the sun.


My people are life.
