Apology
by Malik

Dear Black Sister,

I've been to so many places, and looked in the eyes of so many faces.
I have heard and done so many things.
I don't know, I guess what  I'm saying is I'm sorry.
So sorry, you know,
I never meant to call you a bitch or hoe.
I never meant to string you out on Mr. White Mans dope,
I grew up in a time that taught to do these things, were okay.
 As I grew to know my sister, you,
I thought for myself. Finally.
And realized, somebody lied.
They lied when they taught us you had no beauty. 
My nature tells me you're the epitome of the garden of Eden.
They lied when they said you could never be sexy.
They lied, because just the thought of being with one of my Nubian sisters, makes my nature rise...
I guess what they tried to do was get me all confused,  telling me lies that they themselves knew to be true.
Now that I can think for my self, (Alhumdullah),
I let my conscious, my nature, my essence tell me about my Black sister.
I'm sorry little Black girl, for stealing your innocence.
For taking advantage of you.
For doing so many of the things that the fucking white man told me to do to you.
I guess I was pimped and tricked too. The white man was my john,
Not now, now that I know what's up.
I only hope that my beatiful, Black goddess of a sister will forgive me.
Please, I pray, accept my apology....
