Is Black a color? something which most people think is something to be feared, or is it something wise which needs to be revered,

constantly we are taught that anything  dark is evil , devil worship, or pagan,  but when your mind is colonized as yours you don't see any point in changing,

Is Black something ignorant which accepts the lies it is given, or is it the descendants of ancient Africans who the Greeks referred to as the Egyptians,

Why are we taught that our  ancestors lived in caves and swung from trees, while Europeans were establishing civilizations and meeting their peoples needs,

when in actuality it is the opposite of what you may think, because while we were building pyramids, and helping establish civilizations, they were on their way to becoming extinct,

If only our people became conscious of the greatness of which we originated from, then we would understand that new shoes, expensive clothes, and hoes aren't getting us any closer to the sun(son),

Is Black the absence of anything of light or purity, or is it the descendant of an African named Mansa Musa who ruled over Mali,

Do you continue not to accept your people's origin in Africa out of fear, of being shunned by your family and by all of those who you hold dear, 

Well i will no longer allow the media to put slander on the black image, because i am no longer apologetic about my people or my pigment.
