Black Poetry : Black Is Who I Am...

[1poetsought]

You left me hanging like
Strange fruit in a tree

Had we not chose to run
We'd never be free

Familiar with a sun
That beat down on me

Black is who I am...
Not what I've come to be

Signed on a travelin' man
With baggage to bring ~

But in the promised land
Denied everything

While in a minstrel show
I'd long to be king

Black is who I am...
Not what I've come to be

OH goodie first to respond

I really admire the way your writing style because its so uniquely you

you accomplish the push of many words in a few

I do enjoy my brotha

Black is you
