POEMS CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY...

[2SILLI_4U]

                                            HISTORY

                              SPOKEN WORDS ARE HISTORY

                       RECORDS OF SOME REMAIN A MYSTERY

                               WHEN TODAY AND TOMORROW

                                ROWS BITTERLY OVER TODAY

                               TODAY WILL BECOME HISTORY

                                   JUST AN EMPTY SPACE;

                        ENLIGHTENED BY A DARKEND FACE

              HISTORY REMINDS ME OF A REPETITION OF EVENTS

      DANCING TO THE RHYTHM OF THE SAME KIND OF ACHIEVEMENTS.

                                A BATTLE IS WON OR LOST

   EVERY LOVE OR HATRED WILL EVENTUALLY BE BURIED IS DUST

                                I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME

                         SOON OUR LOVE GOES DOWN IN HISTORY

               IS IT TO HAVE A STORY THAT COMMANDS ALL GLORY

                        FOR THE INEVITABLE PAST THAT WILL LAST!

 

                                           STILL STRONG

                                 I WILL BUILD A FOUNDATION

                              ON WHAT MY ANCESTORS DID

                               I WILL GROW UP WITH MONEY

                                          EDUCATED KIDS

                                        I WILL HAVE A JOB

                             WHERE I CAN BE THE BOSS

                        WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE

                              MY PRIDE WON'T BE LOST

                                          I'M IN A RACE

                                   THERE IS NO WRONG

                                 THERE'S ONLY STRONG!

 

                                       A BLACK MAN

                A BLACK MAN IS SOMEONE THAT MANY PEOPLE FEAR

                     MANY, MANY BLACK MEN DIE EVERY YEAR

            THEY ARE BOXED IN AS THEIVES, MURDERERS AND THUGS

PERHAPS AS A CHILD THEY NEVER RECEIVED ENOUGH KISSES& HUGS

         A BLACK MAN CAN TEACH MANY PEOPLE DIFFERENT THINGS

               BUT NO ONE LISTENS TO THE BLACK MAN'S IDEAS

       SO WHAT A BLACK MAN COULD TEACH WILL NEVER BE SEEN.
