I Am Black

What do I write to a world

Not ready for my strife

This word I speak

To the life of this thing called being...

Neither the mild nor the meek...

Will come to seek

From the wisdom that I speak...

For this gift I give

Can only come from being free

Not from the form of the bondage

That makes a man flee

No, you can not see me.

For I am the countless speck of a being

Connected to the spirit of infinity...
