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

Premium MemberColorism

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

Premium MemberGrowing Pain's

Shedding skin to grow 
All these years have passed me by
Will you help me grow?

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

Premium MemberSkin Deep

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:-

Premium MemberConcrete Kiss

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

Premium MemberPheromones

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

Premium MemberBlue Number 9

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

Premium MemberBlack Beauty

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

Premium MemberDesigned To Rise

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
