Black is Not One ColorA Poem by Butch DecatoriaFelt like rhyme
Black is not one color
but all of them in one Black is not a face or a person baller nor bum it is the period when this sentence is done. Maybe black is the ooze that drowns sea and fish or is it that nappy young'un all hungry with wish Black is certain as black is your eye when you're fighting just to prove your right (or keep one's rights alive) Oh yes, black is what makes the stars shine bright while under it--knocking boots aside... no matter what, love is made even in the darkest of nights... So why would somebody as golden as me care about one crayon or a stripe of a bee? Because if nothing is wrong then our skin shouldn't be or worse --whipped til it bleed There is nothing more to say, let each embrace teach you Question all history, but now just do you as long as eyes can take a look know your neighbor, love that crook experience and love is not from a book. Now I'll sit next to you since we ride the same bus, do you get to know my color or speak to living dust? Black may be just a word that fear blinds from our trust Still all the colors in one black is beauty under the sun, til time is rust, til gone is done... So speak truly and be free Love the same as all of us Cherish blues and greenest trees Since we do ride that same ole bus... No words need screams or fistful hate Cuz Black is moonwalking up to the Pearly Gates, where the boogie cannot wait and the blind finally wake...
