Black in America
In a land diverse, with dreams soaring high,
Where colors blend, beneath the same sky,
There lies a tale of struggle and pain,
Black voices rising, strength they attain.
Through the night's darkest veil, they shine,
Endurance, resilience, legacy combined,
For being black in America, they know,
The seeds of prejudice, they've had to sow.
In shadows cast by history's stain,
Their spirit unyielding, it shall remain,
Confronting bigotry, they stand tall,
Injustice endured, lest freedom may fall.
From each injustice, a phoenix shall rise,
Burning bright, capturing the world's eyes,
With voices of courage, they set the stage,
Advocating peace, dismantling rage.
United, they strive, hand in hand,
Breaking the chains of a divided land,
Demanding justice, resolute and true,
A symphony of unity they pursue.
In the face of adversity, they find hope,
Gathering strength, they bravely cope,
For the hearts that bleed, their love they extend,
In unity and solidarity, they transcend.
Through pain and sorrow, they fight,
Seeking a future, bathed in pure light,
For every battle fought, progress is won,
A step closer to equality, under the sun.
So let us continue to march side by side,
Breaking barriers, with spirit unchained wide,
For in a diverse America, we aspire,
To nurture a world that ignites love's fire.
Together we rise, colors intertwine,
Celebrating the beauty that we find,
Acknowledging the past, forging anew,
For a brighter America, for me and for you.
