i was born a black man .
i will die a black man,
as i live and breathe,
the  air that is the soul of me,
 
i shell never forget the unjust ,
done by those  who stole my fruit ,
to live free .be free.stay free,
from my ancestor's tree,
 
now i have nothing but love ,
for all races creed and colors,
much respect for the different races,
creed and religions,
 
just as a tree is known by the fruit it bares,
i will speak of those trees who's fruit ,
you should beware.
evil knows not of race creed or religion,
 
now i know the laws of the land ,
holds all the blame,
but remember those laws ,
were made by all mighty man,
 
when i look in the  mirror,
i love the person i see,
cause  there's no-one i can be,
better than  me,
 
 the laws of the land
infallible as they  be,
the cause of much misery,
unrest turmoil,strife,as well as pestilence,
 
let this be the reason  why i speak ,
the truths flowing from my soul,
like the raging rivers seeking the ocean
 
sometimes in anger,sometimes in pity,
sometime in love.sometimes in faith ,
sometimes in trust,some times in hope,
however i speak  it will be as a black man first,
 
 a blind person can't see color,
a deaf person can't hear words,
 a paralyzed person can't feel.
as a black man i will keep it real,
 
right down to my lost, stolen, hidden, burned, history,
let the world know Thu the ashes a mighty warrior ,
rises still,
like the phoenix i am,
like the Sphinx i be,
 from the land of Egypt i originated,
as the rulers of all in love, peace, and harmony,
yes as black man I did this first,
 
black men Thu out the lands, stand up reach for love,
i say stand up reach for love!!,
stand! stand! show the damn,
you can stand reach for love,.
 
only way you can do this is to know from  which you came from,
GOD bless my soul,we have so far to go,i know ,i know,
reach for love without shame stand proud yea black man,
make the sisters proud to stand by your side  again,
stop! those haters who call themselves rappers,
 from instilling the  belittlement of b*****s and w****s,
on the queens of our soul,
 
be the leader Godly figure for your little boys and girls,
you can do this if you just be black men first,
take that woman hand and be as GOD meant us to be,
one big happy family,
reach ,preach, by example,
for time here is not ample,
and when this is done ,
you will see your oppressor run,
 
as the healing starts  forgiveness begins,,
of all pass sins.
,white man,,red man,yellow, man,
these words of love is coming from a black man first.
we are all  one in the same,, we all feel joy,we all know pain,
words of my soul,will cause tears to flow,
and love to grow,words spoke by a black man first,

"when i look in the mirror,
i love the person i see,
cause there's no-one i can be,
better than me"

Beautiful!!!!

This entire piece is awesome wizthom.

Feel love. Speak love. Live love.

The separation of people is so disturbing,
as we are all born of the same Spirit.
I'll never understand how man can be so
amazingly brilliant and so damned stupid at
the same time. How does one have the intelligence
to build spaceships, yet the ignorance of thinking
a person's worth is based on the physical...
you've got to be kidding me.

It's so horribly sad that
we measure the shell of a man,
to determine the size of his soul.

May God help us all.

I've said it before, and I'll probably
say it until the day I leave this place...

All we need is love, love..
love is all we need.


Another awesome write my friend.
