When black boys are born
We mothers kiss their faces
Twirl our fingers in their curls
Put them in carriers on our chest
Show them to the world
Our tiny black princes

And when they start school
As early as 3
We mothers
Place huge back packs on their backs
And we slowly fill them with bricks
Etched with tools
Tattooed with truths
Hoping to save them
Don't talk back
Don't get angry
Say yes ma'am
Say no sir
Don't fight

Even if they hit you first
Especially if they are white
Do your best
Better than best
Be still
Worker hardest
BRICK
They get a little older
And we add more
Keep your hands out of your pockets
Don't look them in the eye
Don't challenge
