the-black-poets:

What is black?
I am brown
A brown male who was robbed of his crown
His kingdom
His culture
His roots
Now I’m just a former slave of my white master
But I am still a slave
A slave to this corrupt government
Built off greed
Lies
Deceit
I am still branded
On my legs
Back and feet
So what is black
Black is a race created by a man
An experiment growing into perfection
Black is a group of people being controlled without them even knowing
But I don’t really know
I’m not the all knowing
So that’s why I ask
What is black ?
