Y’all don’t read

Y’all don’t read....
It’s that slave mentality 
That got you refuse to 
Pick a book and expand your 
Vocabulary.... y’all don’t wanna 
Educate yourselves...y’all don’t 
Wanna know....learnin is beneath 
Y’all...ain’t it sad? Ain’t it 
Sad that your only book 
You wanna read is your 
Bible.... y’all don’t break codes...
Y’all are blind to see 
Your symbolism.... there’s nothin 
Wrong to school yourself 
Once in a while....readin researchin
The truth and history is to remind 
Others past can repeat itself if we let it....
Though others think they’re too cool 
For dictionaries, for etymologies....
Y’all don’t read....
Y’all refuse to read....
Y’all read on social media 
And the Bible....
When people say niggas don’t read, 
I won’t call y’all names....not even negroes....
I got too much respect for you to say it behind your 
Backs or think to name y’all that....
I just say y’all...
Y’all don’t read....
Y’all refuse to....
But I encourage you to turn the page 
And let your imagination takes you on 
A daydream trip....take you on a flight 
Of thousand journeys....sometimes it’s okay 
To be a nerd....plus do you want your family 
Any friends to be aware? Do you wanna be awake?
I mean there are others who don’t wanna listen to 
The messages, it’s alright...leave them alone....
They will learn the hard way....
Some of y’all do read, 
It depends on what y’all readin....
See I read cos I write....
I read to gain more knowledge....
I read to overstand....
One of the beautiful things about 
Readin is that it has us thinkin critically....
It has thinkin for yourself...and you have your 
Own perspective....we should discipline ourselves 
For readin so we can teach our family the truth....
It’s the purpose of the book....Many pages full of 
Life lessons...
Y’all should read...
A novel, a short story, a poem...
Doesn’t have to be a big book...
Maybe a magazine..
Anythin...
Read a little somethin..
