The Black Dollar

posted in: Poems | 0

The black dollar is extremely powerful. Without the black dollar the power of the dollar loses value,

You take the black dollar away from the nation for a week, businesses will be suffering at their knees,

Things just don’t move accordingly without contributions from the people whose skin resemble the mud,

The evidence is in the marketing when it comes to these companies,

They seek to grab the black folks attention first,

Quite frankly whatever black folk think is important or cool,

The rest of the world will follow suit,

It’s a power that we have but also a sense of responsibility,

The proof is in the pudding,

We took a liking to gold jewelry,

The market for gold would plummet without the black dollar or it’s influence, 

We decided we were into high fashion & designer garments,

Kids now a days are packing away their Spider-Man shirts and replacing them with Gucci tee’s,

Wherever the black dollar goes every other dollar seems to follow,

And just like a boujee social media page…we never seem to follow back.

The black dollar only leads the way.
