Poem
God Made Me A Smooth Thorn, Poking The Eyes Of My Neighbors, Oh They Despise Me; So They Envy My Black, See I'm Beautiful Yet Filled With Simplicity, I Walk Earth Like Any Other Living Creature, Honestly I Think Above And Beyond Stature, Cause I am A Confederate Of Good Nature- I Breathe, Eat, Sleep- How Can I Not Deserve The Same Right? As The White Man That Lives Across The Street- My Color Might Be Different- Black But My Black Is Worth Breathing, And As Far As Worthiness Is Concerned, My Black Is Priceless. I am A Simply Complex Beauty, Thus Humanity Justifies- Thence A White Life; Hath No Greater Value Then Mines- So Why Am I Being Whipped? Why Am I Made To Weep? As My Father's And Mothers Stand Witnesses, Why Am I Ill-treated? Yes Mr. White, So What's Your Worth, If I May Ask? Cause As Far As Worthiness Goes My Black Is Priceless; See You Have Been Dragging Me; Since I Was A Grandchild; And Now That I am A Grandfather- You Still Proceed To Humiliate Me, I am Counting My Scars; Sparks Of Survival; Yet You Fuel My Undying Heat; Can't You See I'm Struggling To Contain, The Fires Inside, But How Will I Still Hold It In; When You Killed My Brother? Yes He Was Black; Oh, Thus You Despise- But He Was Also Advocate Of Humanity, That Bit You Failed To See, So How Can You Judge Me- When I Start Acting Like A Monkey? For You Think You're The Lion, Won't I Retaliate The Only Possible Way That I Know- Indeed My Color Is Different- And I, As The Wounded Tiger; I Cry Silent, But As Far As Worthiness Goes; My Black Is Priceless. There Still Are Reasons- I Contemplate About, Why Do You Choose This Route? To Treat Me Lesser Then You Treat Your Pet Dog- You Incarcerated My Whole Generation, Yet You Can't Tolerate The Few That Survived Your Obliteration, I Realized You Can't Condone My Breathing, As If You Are Violated By My Living- Isn't That Your Reason To Why You Eliminate, Everything That's My Strength And Power; He Who Kills Family Killed Humanity; See You Can't Stand My Beauty, It Hurts You, It Taunts You, It Shows You Your Ugliness, So You Resorted To Oppression- Which I Believe Is Because; I am Black And Unfathomable; So Mr. White, What's Your Worth, If I May Ask? Cause As Far As Worthiness Concerned My Black Is Priceless.
