PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was born in this mighty great way,
And will be even after my dying day;
People may hate me for how I was born,
Hate me like a simple rose with a thorn;
There's one thing,
They won't be able to see,
Until they stop their anamosity.

I'm a man of color,
Proud and strong;
I don't care,
If I have to stand alone;
I'm a man of color,
Strong and true;
I don't care,
If I have to stand without you.

I was born with a gift like no other,
A gift given To a son from his mother,
She's raised me well,
Now that I know the struggle of race,
There's absolutely nothing I can't face!

I'm a man of color,
Proud and still;
I will stand here,
Even if no one else will;
I'm a man of color,
Strong and proud;
I don't care,
If I have to say it out loud.
