WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BLACK LORD?
Why Did You Make Me Black Lord ....
Lord .... Why did you make me black?
Why did you make someone
the world would hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes,
of grimy hands and feet...
Black is the color of darkness,
of tired beaten streets...
Why did you give me thick lips,
a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you create someone
who receives the hated stare?
Black is the color of the bruised eye
when someone gets hurt...
Black is the color of darkness,
black is the color of dirt.
Why is my bone structure so thick,
my hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes brown,
and not the color of the sky?
Why do people think I'm useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin
and think I should be abused?
Lord, I just don't understand...
What is it about my skin?
Why is it some people want to hate me
and not know the person within?
Black is what people are "Labeled"
when others want to keep them away...
Black is the color of shadows cast...
Black is the end of the day.
Lord you know my own people mistreat me,
and you know this just ain't right...
They don't like my hair, they don't like my
skin, as they say I'm too dark or too light!
Lord, don't you think
it's time to make a change?
Why don't you redo creation
and make everyone the same?
God's Reply:
Why did I make you black? Why did I make you black?
I made you in the color of coal
from which beautiful diamonds are formed...
I made you in the color of oil,
the black gold which keeps people warm.
Your color is the same as the rich dark soil
that grows the food you need...
Your color is the same as the black stallion and
panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed!
All colors of the heavenly rainbow
can be found throughout every nation...
When all these colors are blended,
you become my greatest creation!
Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool,
such a beautiful creature is he...
I am the shepherd who watches them,
I will ALWAYS watch over thee!
You are the color of the midnightsky,
I put star glitter in your eyes...
There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...
That's why your cheeks are so high!
You are the color of dark clouds
from the hurricanes I create in September...
I made your lips so full and thick,
so when you kiss...they will remember!
Your stature is strong,
your bone structure thick to withstand the
burden of time...
The reflection you see in the mirror,
that image that looks back, that is MINE!
So get off your knees,
look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness...
I made you in the image of ME!

"LAST AND FINAL TIME"

I ALWAYS CHECK TO SEE IF YOU'RE THERE
BUT WHAT DOES IT MATTER I SHOULDN'T CARE
THIS IS THE LAST AND FINAL TIME
THAT THESE LIPS WILL SAY THE WORD "GOODBYE"

I HAVE REALIZED I'VE HELD ON WAY TOO LONG
EVEN WHEN MY HEART TOLD ME THAT IT WAS WRONG
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SAVE
WHAT I CALLED A FRIENDSHIP SLIPPED AWAY IN A WAVE

WE WERE THERE FOR EACH OTHER WHEN WE NEEDED TO BE
AND NOW THE REASONS ARE GONE AND IT'S TIME TO LEAVE
I COULD SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LESSONS I'VE LEARNED
BUT WITH ALL THE TEARS MY LESSONS I'VE EARNED

YOU GO ON ABOUT YOUR DAY TO DAY THING
AND I WILL LOOK TO THE STARS FOR WHAT MY TOMORROW WILL BRING
THERE IS NO USE IN RE HASHING THE PAST
BECAUSE MY FUTURE IS BIG, BRIGHT AND VAST

SO GOODBYE I SAY WITH NO TEARS OR REGRET
I WILL MOVE ON AND THAT YOU CAN BET
LOOKING BACK IS WHAT I WILL NOT DO
BECAUSE IF I DO I WILL ONLY SEE YOU

YES YOU AT ONE TIME WERE MORE THAN A BUDDY
BUT THAT ENDED ABRUPTLY AND IN A HURRY
A FRIENDSHIP OUR DAMNDEST WE TRIED TO RETAIN
BUT IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SO I SAY THIS AGAIN

THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST AND FINAL TIME
THAT YOU HEAR MY LIPS WHISPER THE WORD...

GOODBYE

ALMOST RUINED HEART
For what reason you came here I never will know
Your presence has caused many problems and woes
You are no longer in attendance but now only a ghost
But your presence still haunts me wherever I go
I try to look to the future; try to map it all out
But your residue is clinging to my being like a bad case of gout
I have tried to swab it, sluice it, and shampoo it too
No matter the endeavor there are still remnants of you
In spite of this intrusion I persist to no end
But I have come to the conclusion
That absolutely no other men
Will ever be you
The differences they encompass are blatantly clear
They will never compare to a man once held dear
They walk different, talk different that much is true
They smell different, feel different; definitely not you
To some this would be considered fond remembrance
But I can only consider this a dreadful hindrance
Every other part of my life has been under construction
But this area has sustained a surplus of destruction
Not sure if renovations or restorations will be enough
The extra hours of work ahead are going to be rough
Because the damage runs deep within the walls
It might need to be gutted with a complete overhaul
But healing is slow and patience is the key
So that one day another might enter safely
Into the area once filled with confusion and doubt
Without the slightest worry of being shut out
I will pull down everything- take it down to the frame
Throw out what is no longer needed especially the blame
Throw out all of the hate piled high in the corner
Don’t need the feelings of rejection they don’t work anymore
So out it all goes – it just plays no part
Of rebuilding that special space in my heart
Where one day I hope to let someone in
For no other reason than just him being HIM.

ABSOLUTELY MY KIDS AND FAMILY !!
"SOMETHING NEW"
MY NEW FAVORITE MOVIE
YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT
A WORLD BETWEEN
Hey High Yellow, how you doing tonight?
Talk to me Yellow Bunny.
Your hair is so straight baby, and your skin is so
light. I know I am the one for you tonight.
All of my friends would think I was the man.
If I can talk little miss Light Skin into letting me
be her man.
Her skin is a little too dark for my taste.
I could never see us going out on a date.
I would be too embarrassed to introduce her to everyone.
I know after she left they would all just make fun.
Her hair is so nappy can't do a thing with it.
I guess she will just have to braid it. (I am sure she
knows how)
They never really know who I am -
because they cannot ever get past the skin.
I spent my life being caught in a world between.
Never knowing where I exactly would fit in.
As I grew older and all of the names had been called.
I now know that it doesn't matter at all.
Because I know who I am and what I want out of life.
And it does not include all of those struggles and strife.
Yes, it doesn't matter all because
I am a strong woman...both Black and White.
