My Black is Beautiful" by keemiekeem My Black is beautiful, strong, courageous. Powerful beyond the simple imagination. Others look on, their mouths open in fascination, Cause my Black is beautiful, strong, courageous. So beautiful is my Black that all the world springs from her seed. In fact, if God ever married, she would be His queen. The Europeans come and like what they'd seen. Black beauty ruling over diamonds and things. Even saw the people and the strength they possessed. So much, they took us and yall know the rest. But still inside, Black kings and queens reigned. Forced to listen to ignorant things. But if the lion is the king of the jungle,Why is my Black king wearing his mane? Or just because I'm Black, I need to be tamed. Stereotypically, yet hypocritically, society judges me so critically. Saying, "He's only good if he's an athlete physically, Cause his Black can never make it in the real world mentally." But actually, the only challenge right here is inside of me. So I pour out my heart and hope my Black hears my plea!! Let's go show the people who ruled the world for centuries!! Pharoahs, kings, and queens over everything. My Black is beautiful, strong, courageous. That's why my Black is president over the nation. They say the color happiness in today's world is green. So it's time for us to shine and make Our Black seen.

We black people need to start loving ourselves more, and believing that we can achieve the dreams we desire in life, and not be held back by stereotypical types of people, whom like to categorizes us in groups. I LOVE MY BLACK, and you should to. The only way forward, is to never look back!! Caroline (aka) Miss Soulstress
