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.
