A Black Man



In the face of prejudice and pain,
He stands tall, with head held high,
A symbol of strength and resilience,
A black man, proud and dignified.

He bears the weight of history,
The chains of oppression and slavery,
Yet still he rises, unbroken,
His spirit burning bright and free.

He is a son, a brother, a father,
A friend to those who know his worth,
With a heart that beats with passion,
And a soul that's pure as the earth.

His skin is dark as midnight,
But his spirit shines like the sun,
A testament to his perseverance,
And the battles he has won.

He is a warrior, a hero,
A man of grace and power,
And though the road ahead may be long,
He will never falter or cower.

For he knows that in his heart,
There beats a strength that's true,
A force that cannot be broken,
A spirit that will always renew.

So let us honor this black man,
And all that he represents,
For he is a beacon of hope,
And a symbol of our common descent.
