The Poetic Word
A Black Boy’s Heart
“Paperwork labels him as a monster, but I see him as a brother.”
Read a poem for the dear black boys,
The innocence being stripped away
But reasons only they themselves would see a way.
Making sense in the heat of the moment.
Who can be the judge and cast the first
Stone?
Because a black boy joy is healing of
Nations far and wide.
The smile of a black man
Will bring rain to relieve plagued lands
From centuries of drought.
Black women, we want to grow old
With our black boys and men,
Hence why our prayers can be felt.
Across seas
Behind everything meant to separate
Our nations.
Held a black man
Deep in the belly of the beast.
Said all he could see is his mother,
We came to terms with who we are & wept.
Paperwork labels him as a monster
But I see him as a brother.
Father.
Uncle.
A black man that the black community
Spiritually cries out
Its Needs!
Not the old fragments stuck into the flesh
Causing infection and decay.
But the brand new maturity
Breaking free from the cocoon…
After transforming the thoughts of
Misguided intelligence to a being
Beneficial to all communities that are
Hurting for the losses we see as our
Joy and pride.
Black wombs continue to cover
Blacks seeds
That are nurturing the next gen
Family tree.
Black boy heart
So pure
That it needs to be protected
By all means necessary!
