……………………………………..…whisper,

“Don’t try to please him!”

No matter what you do,

He will never be your visionary king:

He does not think highly,

Of you—cause your steps, speech,

The way you move—seems like;

No honor amongst queens and kings:

Don’t try to please him!”

For your burden does not motivate,

Uplift and is too much negative energy,

Upon the lips of your brown skin:

“Don’t try, a voice whisper to please him!”

—he won’t approve until you become;

Aware’, that you are royal—worthy,

And recognize the honor, beauty,

Of your conscious, Supreme King!
