    Black Child
    Raises from the ashes of destruction

    Black Child

    Tethered to the arm of injustice

    Black Child

    Consumed with the passion of his ancestors

    Black Child

    Oppressed by the one track mind of society

    Enslaved by the manifest of what black should be

    Black Child

    Rebels against conformity

    Seeks out his black individuality

    Black Child

    Escapes from the cells created by the hands of man

    Exhilarating freedom, now he stands

    Before you as a

    Black Child

    Born a Prince but lives the life of a pauper

    His wealth is in his skin

    Overflowing knowledge from within

    He is the Black Child

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
