OF DRIED AND TIRED SEEDS
Having failed
To turn
Our vineyard
Into a graveyard
Of raisins in sun,
They now
Seek to pluck away,
Ripe black plums
To grave the soil
With wrinkled,
Laden prunes:-
(Guess
they
failed
the
watermeleon
lesson):
Earthly green;
Blood-red flesh;
Multiple black seeds:-
Indeed, we are
Children of
The Father
Of the sun
And the Son:
Fertilized
And energized
By the
Cosmic spirit–
Resurrecting
Generations
Of dried
And tried seeds–
Germinating
Liberated
Blooming
Freedom flowers
In the sun:
Bouqueting
Thanks
To the
Son:-
Today is your birthday
And I’m proud of you
Heart of gold you make
Joyful dreams a truth
Man of courage compassion
I love you very much son
Chocolate man of passion
A special intelligent one
Happy God blessed me so
Jones is your given name
Onyx hair and brilliant goals
Never change a single thing
Every prayer was like a dare
Saw God bless you to dream
Chocolate brown skin is from heaven above
Onyx skin and chocolate kin get no love
Love from within is a necessary teal thing
Only hearts of sin try to tarnish black brain
Really a shame to be racist and hard hearted
I don’t have to blame how it all began started
So many lose sight of God in their own life
May His grace replace hate make it all right
Shedding skin to grow
All these years have passed me by
Will you help me grow?

true love is not abusive
forgive not forget
The revolution has started, but the world doesn't see.
Everybody is unmasking on side of me.
The vision isn't clear, so let me explain.
No more hurting our people, putting us to shame.
The harder you look, the more powerful we become.
Pay attention to our minds just as well as to our guns.
Not aiming to shoot but to send a message,
To combat the ones who kill for perfection.
Our minds will talk; it's the first line of defense
As we stand together, inch by inch.
So take time, realize, step back, and take a seat.
The Black Panthers will revolutionize every wrong movement on the street.

What I want to be as a grown up
Free to be me a person of color
One who can dream and discover
That my flaws are forged from stardust
Made in His image even though
Resources limited words are gold
I don’t have money but I have hope
Poor in possession rich in soul
Rose's are Red
Violets are blue
Crimson is the
colour of blood
All in a symphony
of love
Skin colour is only
skin deep
White, dark, ebony brown
skin colours
Ebony black is dominant
While white is recessive
Running only skin deep
Crimson is still the
colour of blood.

MLK: THE EBONY HUED HUMAN DOVE
He came bearing a dream for humanity;
Teaching nonviolence, peace, and love:-
He was a drum major for human equality;
Sent down to us by the Creator from above:-
There was a silence then a group gasp
As I bent over the coffin of my dad
He was murdered in Atlanta Georgia
Shot in the head as he left a store
But such details matter no more
I noticed his curly hair and miss his eyes
His humor his smile his stare
I know his complexion should be fair
But for the mortician’s makeup
He was put back together
Like a puzzle with death’s muzzle
Not thinking of that in the moment
I planted a warm kiss on his cold cheek
It would be the last
Purple passionate kisses on my neck
Hugging my hips head on brown chest
Energy transferred in a chocolate scent
Rhythm disturbed by desires lament
Onyx heart so large black and bruised
Mahogany thoughts of love so true
Onions make tears just like you
Neanderthal fears from eyes so blue
Emerald envy inspired by smell
Song “You Send Me” casts a spell
The ceiling fan hums a teal tune
Like a night flower of blue I bloom
Blue like truth fools limit my shine
Blue for being black not always kind
Blue like the ocean making love to brown sand
Blue like the moon missing the sun her man
Blue like the bird who is forced to sing alone
Blue like the ink in my pen as I write this poem
Blue also brings a special kind of praise
For sky is blue and of rainbow’s faith
Bright star like eyes that twinkle
And lovely long onyx hair of clouds
A sky of black skin with wisdom wrinkles
A proud walk like a sea breeze that shouts
Who are you black beauty of this earth
How majestic is your mahogany mood
They envy your style you know your worth
Your smile white and wild cure’s the blues
You birth generations of people so strong
Defying the odds and blessed still by God
The way you speak inspires silver song
Hidden away in a purple poetic heart
To know you is to love you and remember
Touch so soft unconditional love so tender
We belong and carry
Historic love is buried
In black genes so strong
They ring like holy song
The curl of your hair
Onyx Pearl your eyes
Heavy hips bring stare
Licorice lips defy lies
We create from scraps
Food homes poems raps
Take nothing make something
All despite devilish traps
We fall yet we ruby rose
So all could experience hope
And amethyst amazing growth
We dreamt and made it so
You silver star are the pride
Of hearts love inherited tribe
The sun kisses your skin
Ancestors kiss given by wind
Destined and designed to rise
Be inspired be ready to fly
God gives you truth not lies
Walk your path live your life
