Star nah do too bad.
What is Black???

Black is no longer just a color
It is who I am
What I eat
and
How I speak
Black defines my walk
My thick thighs
And the power behind my dark eyes
Black is all about a movement
A movement that set back time
Gave me rights
Made it safe to call Black mine
Black is a way of life
That gave me flight
And helped me stand up for the fight
Black is who I am
Who you are
Who everyone wants to be
Black is beauty
And I'm glad that that beauty is in me

"STAR"

Re: What is Black???

Black on Black
Race and Skin


White on White
Where does it begin?

Red on Red
Bleeds and Cries.


Yellow on Yellow
A Bullet Flies.

Black on Black
Hate and Skin
to Choke,
to Strangle
What is, What's been!

Black to Black
White to White
Halloween
or
Christmas
Day or Night?


Say it's Yesterday
or
Sing it Tomorrow
Humanity's roots
gnarled and narrow.

Deny, Conspire
Hates like Fire!
Comes to be
in many ways.
Ethnic Cleansing?
Slaughter Slays.

Genocide.
The Devil's been overpaid.

Lost souls,
darkness
Holocaust.

Which one is Hitler
yet,
among all us?

Sorrow
Borrowed
Tomorrow
Follows

Black on Black
Shadows, or Shades
blind our eyes
See
the color Fades
