I've been told Children of the sun Are as black gold Stolen Sold Some wonder why they run. Some were burned Some have paved long roads They've smooth rough paths These images of God. Black Mammies, white lips What buffered lives so sweetly? Why some grew and rose with tricks Is beyond my comprehension. Have you seen History's wheel turning? Rainbows grace far and wide They do hold firm Like aged rocks; some glitter. But I've been told Us earthlings are the same Our innards fixed by God A fountain of red A garden of variegated colors. *
