BLACK IS...A POEM INSPIRED BY BHM

BLACK IS...A POEM INSPIRED BY BHM


BLACK IS THE SCENIC ROUTE

LEARNING GRIT WHILE NEVER TAKING THE EASY WAY OUT

BLACK IS HOURS AND HOURS OF DEDICATION

IN A DIVISIVE AND UNDERMINING NATION

BLACK IS SMOKING GRILLS AND OPEN YARDS

WITH A FAMILY THAT SOMETIMES MAKE IT TWICE AS HARD

BLACK IS A BOTTOMLESS EMPTY VOID

BUT WE STILL HAVE ANITA BAKER’S LEVEL OF JOY

BLACK IS MORE THAN A COLOR OR A RACE

MORE THAN FEATURES ON A FACE

MORE THAN A SYMBOL

MORE THAN A LITERARY DEVICE

BLACK IS THE ESSENCE OF COOL

NO.....

BLACK IS THE CENTER OF LIFE
