Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
Sadly it has dominated the news of late –
It seems ‘black’ is the new fatality.
Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
With mothers spoiling their young
And fathers serving up a legacy of brutality.
Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
It’s synonymous with force, aggression, a lot of noise
Passion, power, sexiness – oh yes… ‘black’ has such duality!
Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
Feared by so many, threatening in its way
Something to be broken; simply because of its seeming un-malleability.
Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
Walking with bravado, arrogance and swag
But it’s all in an attempt to mask ‘black’s’ true vulnerability.
Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
Often disregarded, ignored until it fights back –
By matching blow to blow and injustice with cruelty.
Black is not a color –
Black is a mentality.
We’ve occupied this world since the beginning of time –
And nothing you do will eradicate this history!
See, but black IS a color –
And only the ignorant will view it simply a mentality.
So the sooner we all realize and accept this
Is the quicker we begin to positively affect our current reality.
Your conscious stream is upward spiraling and appreciated.
