MIRRORS
Prior to 1913, every AKA would end the night by going to the mirror and asking:
"Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who is the FIRST and BEST of them all?"
And the mirror would respond:
"Dear AKA its true,
The FIRST and the BEST is you!"
However on January 13, 1913 when the AKA went to her mirror and asked,
"Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the first and best of them all?"
The mirror responded:
"Dear AKA }u are the first its true,
But today 22 were born who are better than you!"
The AKA tried to stop the mirror, but it continued:
"They were born to fulfill the Black Woman's dream,
And they come wearing robes of crimson and cream!"
In a fit of rage, the AKA tried to break the mirror. The mirror, upset at the AKA said:
"Because of your act, you evil vile thing,
Upon you and your sorors a curse I will bring.
You will have to carry your mirror always, And ask the same question day after day, Until the mirror tells you that your organization is the best,
Only then will the curse be laid to rest."
The AKA begged the mirror to remove the curse, But unfortunately her pleadings just made matters worse. So til this day, the curse has not been laid to rest,
Even though the AKAs have tried their best.
Today, when asked the mirror will say:
"Dear AKA, you are the first, its true,
But there are now over 200,000 who are better
than you!"
And, that my dear friends is the reason why AKAs need their mirrors.
