Black History Poems

Just get over it

'Just get over it'
No we still haven't received reparations
And they are long overdue
Why would we get over it 
When you prance around wearing bags made of our skin
Sitting your privileged self's on chairs oh so familiar 
The fabric - our skin 
But you'll never know 
You'll never care 
Because of your ignorance 
Because what you

FOR ALL THAT IT'S WORTH

FOR ALL THAT IT’S WORTH – BY HAMID SINCLAIR

In God… we find the godless.  
So-called transformers of faith—  
Neo-Decepticons, New Age ravers,  
Ravenous sheep… in wolf’s clothing.  

Hapless victims—bitten by the serpent.  
They entered humanity’s paradise… and robbed him.  
No—her.  
Wait… is it her/him?

Everyone catching the vapors of

We the soil are witnesses to their turmoil

Trapped within the soil
Told stories filled with turmoil 
Carrying the weight of black history 
But it honours their memory 
By always remembering 
By never forgetting 

Soaked by the tears of the enslaved 
Waiting, hoping, praying to be saved
The ground an unknowing witness 
To them being worked to death
But in awe of their perseverance 

Throughout the

Black History

We live in such a diverse, multicultural world
Yet I have to ask why Black History isn't taught
What is it about the black culture that mankind 
Refuse to educate, elaborate, reveal, and expose
Black history is like taboo, no one wants to speak or preach
I often wonder what the men of old said about the first men

Black History

History clearly reveals that Black slaves
ENDURED the worst of their real life NIGHTMARES.
There is also the sense that their hearts
ASURED them that their future and that
Of their descendants held their
Best DREAMES.

Message To The Blackman

If slavery was a choice, as some have agreed, then what are we?
If watching your father and mother endure rape or murder was a choice,
Then why do we sit on idle hands, while Trump eradicates our posterity’s opportunities,
As if they were written in sand?
If not being able to read was a choice,
Then why do you

Black History Is History

Black History is Our history 
Black History is American history 
Black History is World history 
Black History is The history 
Black History IS History 

Although it is celebrated in February, Black history is not just a month, it is every day history.

400 years Today 

Although my feet has bared the mercy of my body 
I used the stars ? to guide me 
I am no longer present in this moment 
For I am not a slave 
I am not a bastard 
 
Oppressed and marginalized 
I shall not bare the thought of my offsprings 
For what

The Real Black History

Written By:  D. Collins 2/26/24


When I hear "a country of immigrants" I wince in pain.
Because one ethnic group traveled here in chains.
They didn't walk across the border seeking a better life.
They were snatched from bed, men, children, and wives.



Once they got to America they were sold off like beef.
A father to North Carolina, wife

Black History Month, A Prayer

Eight years ago, I was inspired by Black History Month
to write these few lines as my contribution. The longings
and aspirations of any people demand that the primary
focus be prayer. So, in commemoration of Black History
Month 2024, again, I offer this prayer:

Dear God:

May this generation of Black Americans
never lose the knowledge of OUR Father God.

May WE

Black History

Written By:  D. Collins 2/15/24


To me, red, black, and green means.....
Black blood embedded all over the earth.
There has never been any who have actually seen.
Being used as a tool with free, yeoman's work.


I put this to paper just in case people forgot.
I've been around a while, and have seen a lot.
So, I'm qualified to

My jubilant latent, nascent poetic tribute to black history month

My jubilant latent, nascent poetic tribute to black history month

Which acknowledgement ought to be year round,
similar to altruistic, humanistic, and philanthropic
unconditional acceptance and respect
crafted with the following words 
mostly written January 23rd, 2023,
cuz I, (a sexagenarian married Caucasian male)
get goosebumps when learning
about individuals, (whose skin color
spans the color spectrum)
contributed invaluable positive deeds
