Why did you make me Black Lord..

Lord...Why did you make me black?
Why did you make someone the world
would hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes,
of grimy hands and feet...
Black is the color of Darkness,
of tired beaten streets...

Why did you give me thick lips,
a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you cteate someone who
recieves the hated stare?

Black is the color of the bruised eye
when someone gets hurt...
Black is the color of Darkness...
Black is the color of Dirt!

Why is my bone structure so thick,
My hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes Brown, and not
the color of the sky?

Why do people think I am so useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin and think
I should be abused?

Lord I just don't understand, what is
it about my skin? Why is it that some
people just want to hate me and not know
the person withing?

Lord you know my own people mistreat me,
and you know this just ain't right...
They don't like my hair...They don't like
my skin, as they say I am too dark or too
light!

Lord don't you think, it's time to make a change?
Why don't you redo creation and make evry one
the same?




GOD'S REPLY....
Why did I make you Black?....
Why did I make you Black?

I made you in the color of coal...
for which beautiful diamonds are formed...
I made you in the color of oil, the Black
gold that keeps people warm!

Your color is the same as the rich dark soil
that grows the food you need...
Your color is the same as the Black Stallion
and Panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed...!

All colors of the heavenly rainbow can be found
throughout every nation. When all these colors
are blended, you become my great creation...!

Your hair is the texture of lambs wool, such a
beautiful creature is he...I am the Shepard
who watches them.. I will always watch over
Thee....

You are the color of the midnight sky, I put star
glitter in your eyes...There is a beautiful smile
hidden behind your pain.... That's why your cheeks
are so high!

You are the color of Dark clouds, from the Hurricanes
I create in September...I made your lips so full
and thick...So when you kiss they will remember!

Your stature is strong, your bone structure thick to
withstand the burden of time...
The reflection you see in the mirror, that image
that looks back, that is MINE!!!

So get off your knees, look in the mirror and tell
me what you see? I didn't make you in the image
of Darkness...I made you in the image of me!

Wow Sun don't you think that's a little harsh to post?

Sun, nice post, I have gotten this in an email quite awhile ago but still enjoy seeing it again

Like I said before I love that poem....

And HP, I've never heard that one before (obviously cause I ain't black) but I thought she made it up at first and was comin' down on herself. Then I saw the responses and knew it was something already written. Its a beautiful poem.

Always remember before us.. before slavery.. blacks ruled this world at one point. They were the King of Kings.. Queen of Queens.. so just rule your life, and forget what others might say. Yow.. blessed to all those ebony queens.. know seh this yaadi will be here for you
