The Black Man

Kori Ray

You are a exotic dream
Skin can be black as coal, eyes sweet & brown as honey
Back sculpted of the Gods
Rib of strength
Strong, Fearless

You are unstoppable
Others wanting control, but you never fold
You never give up
The black man is forever

Unforgettable

Always wanting to be The change
But terror , tragedy and loneliness
Never make the change

Stand For love
Honest and Humble
Forever Strong, Fearless
TeArs and all , Alone and all
you never gave up
Black man has no luck
But his pride, dignity, self respect
What else does a black man has left?
