The True Chapters of Life

Black

Black is our dark side
we hide inside our white skins

We cast our pain on those dark
The slaves we keep locked up inside ourselves

We think if we can erase them from our planet
we don’t have to look at our own evil inside

What are we so afraid of? Their power, their strengths,
the soulful beauty that comes from the riches of this earth

The black man and black woman are our birth mothers and fathers
We cannot cast them aside…love them and caress their vulnerable souls

Overcome your fear of darkness
Show courage and stand in for their pain and hurt

Embrace our black brothers and sisters as if they are a piece of ourselves….because they are.
