Black

Ronnie E. Clifton 1964 (Daytona)



Black, is the color of my skin, the color of my soul.  A culmination of all colors and all things, past, present and, future.  Black, the beginning, and the end of the perpetuation of life, liberty and, the pursuit of what? Black the heart of the world, that beats to a drum that few can follow but, all seek to emulate.  Black is proud, substantive, productive and, creative.  Black O' Black, strong, dark and unbeatable Black is, Black is.  

About this poem
