My Black Is Beautiful
My Black Is Beautiful
My Black is beautiful because I belong to a people that shows its beauty
through a wide spectrum of rich shades of brown, vanilla, walnut, butter
scotch, mahogany, honey, nut meg, and beautiful ebony of the night.
With luscious lips, full, thin, swollen, thick and perfect bow and arrow to
indulge in loving, kissing cares away, holding conversations of the day, kissing
scars of life and pain of love ones, and kissing the tears and smiles of children.
My Black is beautiful rich and deep, which covers all of me. My poignant,
intellectual, sharp and creative mind that helped shape history and fixtures of
time. Heartache, heartbreak, separation, degradation, intimidation,
discrimination has not changed my wonderful beautiful exuberant spirit or
damned my soul or damaged my heart.
In fact I stand taller and bolder like an ageless, ancient oak tree deep rooted
swaying in the winds of time. And yet I am still gentle, loving and nurturing
babies into great men and women.
My Black is beautiful because I stand up and face the world and represent
proudly who I am in all my arrays of browns. Struggles, triumphs and love
sparkles brightly translucent upon my head to make up my crowns, receiving
great light from God that replenishes me and rekindles my fire for life!
My Black is beautiful because God has designed me to last forever, to be
every where in the world from continent to continent to show endurance,
unconditional love, compassion and un-wavering strength of a spirit and soul.
My Black is so beautiful it out shines gold.
My Black is so beautiful because I am one in millions of millions and millions
like me. But I still contain my individuality to live and love just for me, and
my family, and pass on my strength, my love, my history, my dancing spirit
and road maps to destinies. My Black is Awesome!!
