The Darkest Black

I am not a stranger to the dark. 
Yes, Im strong to bear the light, 
Even if the darkest of nights bark... 
The best in me will keep up the fight. 

I am with you, dear friendly black--
The land of frustrated loyalists;
Where tyrants rule without  attack, 
From the few vibrant populists. 

If eve was the mother of human species,
Africa was the father of all nation, 
Where we started the learning of ABCs
Before others come to its adaptation.  

Africa was the mother of Eve, 
A land of golds and diamonds! 
Reason colonists don't wanna leave, 
Rather become civilization's legends. 

Real definition of friendship, 
Which cannot be found anywhere else, 
Started in my gracious township
In which we never have others suppress.  

Black!  thou have done yourself proud. 
What a perfect anti racist! 
Thou are so endowed-
A drummer boy perfected a bassist. 

Where else does humanity and woman hood begin?
Is there any mother who dares abandoned her baby? 
Even under the influence of pure gin, 
May be if suffering from the touch of raby... 

Black room, dark souls.
Fearless heart, triumphant mind. 
Broken wings, flying wholes... 
Savaged humans, free blind*

The broad street, daylight illuminate. 
The narrow express, moon crystallize. 
Populace satellite, leaders indeterminate planet. 
Sorrowful joy, all in all I idolize!
