Pure Thoughts

I Love being Black

I love being Black, I love the color black

I love the shade of my skin

I love the fact that I am religiously & scientifically man's origin

I love the history that tells about me

The joy and the pain, the grandeur and our shame

Because loving who we are breaks past the good

And the other part that's left in the dark

I love the essence of black culture in every nation

I love that we faced oppression, we faced incarceration,

We faced a systematic annihilation.

But yet we rose above the storm

And many have tried to keep ones like me I in the dark

About who we really were and where we really came

But they never ever knew my royalty bares no shame

And my love for each and every human being carries no disdain

Could never be burdened by anguish and pain.

And our innate gift of a genius which was given to us

Through the century by Mathematicians, philosophers,

and artist that were dexterous,

have tried to be suppressed and hidden

except our light shines brighter than any spectra known to human's eyes

it is the everyday quest of being black to seek ourselves and liberate our minds

which brings me to my mantra that know

many non-blacks take offense to and despise

I love Being Black, I love the color Black

GOD made me black and there's nothing I lack
