Black - By Dolston Morian Poem by Dr Dolston L Morian

Black and dark yet full of light spark;
Don't loose your compassionate heart.
Black and lonely, but what's so funny?
Because you have been sold into slavery.

Black and depressed
You've got pain pounding in your chest.
Black and angry
Time to call for unconditional liberty.

Black can mean the absence of power
Seems they instituted this tribe for this hour.
Black? But you're good, great, and strong,
Yet they worked you from sunrise to sun down.

Black with endurance and made to do it all;
Yet you've been shown no mercy and given no capital.
Black and endowed with great creativity
Yet limited, repressed, and a consumer you must be.

Black? To the whole the creepy story is known!
I'm a dazzling diamond underneath a heartless dark stone.
So withhold not the price we're morally due
Yes you're black, but for what purpose there's not a clue.

Black? Nothing's wrong, with you;
You're just differently beautiful and that's really true.
Rid me ‘O' them burdens and cut loose every chain.
You are afraid; black's the color missing in the story of shame.
