A REBUKE
First, they called HER straight out of Compton, and you did not speak out—
Because Black Lives do not matter to you.
Then they said HER seed would taint the royal blood
again, you said nothing because Black Lives do not matter to you
When they lied that SHE made you cry
Still you said nothing because Black Lives do not matter to you
Then they bullied HER while with child, saying her love of avocados
fueled drought and murder, still you did not speak out
because Black Lives Do not matter to you.
When your staff at Kensington Palace called HER by derogatory names
still you said nothing because Black Lives Do Not Matter to you
Then they called HER SON a monkey, you did not speak out—
Because Black Lives do not matter to you.
When the tabloids said royals don’t guest edit magazines, still you said nothing
Even though you guest edited Huffington Post
because Black Lives do not matter to you
Then they gave you credit for HER Smart Set, and you said nothing
Because Black Lives do not matter to you
BBC aired a show portraying HER trying to kill you,
Still silence, dead silence
because Black Lives do not matter to you
Now the world is saying enough is enough
you too want a say
You cannot say Black Lives Matter
when you failed to embrace your Black family member
You cannot say Black Lives Matter
when you rode on HER bruised back
Then your fans who hate the Black princess are upset with you
Even they know this isn’t you
Because you have shown time and again
That Black Lives do not matter to you
In seeking to please everyone you please nobody
Your spots are indelible
A dozen photos will not cut it
A thousand cloaks will not suffice.
