Me a black man

No not black as in The Crayola color

But Black as in the Creators Color

so being created Divinely

allows the sun to even kiss me differently

Though society may have you to believe a lesser than human type of being.

Me a black man

However they failed to educate and inform you that hueman H. U. E MAN the race I am part of comes in many shades of black brown and even tan

So when I identify as a black man

I mean a god like being doped up with melanin as you can see

A being where his ancestors might have been slaves but the beauty of that is I’m reminded how strong I am because of all the possible forms of torture they had to endured still by the Devine - I am here.

Don’t call me black to offend because in all honesty it empowers me. I am rich with melanin and full of Life

I am a black man.

A Beautiful black man

And I am proud and grateful to be black for I am different and unique

Not the same as everyone else

like some picture movie on repeat.

Even tho we all might look the same we are not

We are many shades and many faces do we carry

Just to show that even in unity

there is a beautiful and peaceful touch of diversity

I am black and I am proud and where ever needed I will confess it aloud.
