Black
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Black
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: September/1986
black black black
My skin is black
God created me
what I am -
Black/Strong
heart and soul -
Blacker than black
black as a moonless sky
black as midnight -
black as Indigo -
black as the Nile -
I'm proud to be
what
God made me -
black black black
My talk is black
My walk is black
My America, is black
Everything I do,
I do it black -
Black roots grow deep -
My family is black -
Africa black -
Congo black
Ethiopia black
Zulu black -
Blacker than black
black as midnight -
black as Indigo -
black as the Nile -
black black black
I'll be black until
the Ebony Universe,
disappears -
Yes,
black is what I am -
Blacker than black
Obsidian black
black as midnight -
black as Indigo -
black as the Nile -
BLACK!
