DEAR BLACK MAN

DEAR BLACK GENTLEMAN

Dear black guy, gentleman, man……………

JILTED SOUL, EXPOSED TO WONDER, PROBABLY I’M HERE TO SAVE YOU.

What if a black guy knew that in them they have the power like Samson,

What if a black guy knew that the wisdom within them resembles that of Solomon

What if a black guy just doubted the above sentence?

I bet they would want to go to heaven and ask Solomon his secret huh

What if a black man knew that he carries his generation in a bag,

Do I need to go into the details? Science knows best

What if a black guy knew that God sent him a helper and actually realize it’s a helper not a servant?

Wouldn’t he treat her right?

Read your bible folks

To a black guy, don’t buy her with money you do not have

Don’t love her with a kind of love you can’t love yourself with

Don’t look for peace then just let her drag that away from you

Dear black guy,

It is okay to not be okay

It is okay to actually be vulnerable

It is okay to talk about things that are sensitive

It is okay to run away from your problems only and only if you will come back and solve them

It is okay to express yourself whether you will be rejected or not

It is okay to stand up to what you believe in no matter what your boys think

It is okay to work towards your dream no matter how crazy that seems

It is okay to not to be a computer guru

Don’t beat yourself up for not knowing python

Dear black guy:

It is not okay to touch a girl without consent, that’s harassment

It is not okay to sag your trouser

Exposed butt cracks are ugly

It is not okay to not shower in the name of “mimi ni mwanaume”

It is not okay to bark orders to your wife

Talk gently she will still hear you

It is not okay to have just one pair of socks, you wear it till it stinks

What is okay is if you actually wash it every time after wearing it.

It is not okay to think with logic and omit emotions

You are not a robot

You are just a man.

It is not okay to control everyone around you because you are a man

You won’t go far

As Oprah Winfrey said “it isn’t until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are –not necessarily a spiritual feeling, but deep down, the spirit within- that you can begin to take control

Find yourself

It is not okay to run away from responsibilities

Don’t impregnate a girl and disappear

If you do I hope it haunts you to death

Dear black man,

It is in your power to know what is right and wrong

Be perfect like how your heavenly father is perfect

What if a black man knew that their kids see baba as a god

Be a seer, show them that you are brave even though you are battling your struggles

We live in a constant transition but never forget how to be a man

Progress, Pursuit, Purpose

Should be motto of a man!!
