Omogoriola Bisayo Poet Blank verse

Blackborn

BLACK BORN
When next you think of BLACK!

Think of coal, 
think of massive power plants. 
Who will give a "NO" 
to a flashy hour glass.

Think of the ace of spades,  
it's the highest in the deck of playing cards
The face of Blades
The type that be cutting hard.

Think of the dark night.. 
The precidence of a beautiful dawn..
Think of its might.
The bright of a powerful town

Think of a skillet, 
for once, the fry of a tastefull source..
The messenger of a longing rouse and..
The blessing of an empty pouch


Think of  a Black box,
 Think of its saving grace.
The epochs,
 the beginning of many races.

Whenever you think 
 a Black market stinks,
consider its reach
And not the rich.


When I think of the black eye, 
the type carried by "black I"
It Makes me cry and...
 I can't but wonder why?

We sweep the award Plaques
We blaze the tracks
Always ahead of the pack
A very Hard nut to crack


We tough to the bone
Forget the tone
We are Boneblack
And glad to be born black
