BLACK MAN MATTERS

Being a Black Man my voice can’t be still

My strength at my will

I have a mission to fulfill

As a Black Man scared for my life

I feel trapped with no advice

Brutality only leads to Death

I don’t know how much time I have to live left

But I stand representing myself as a Black Man

I have thoughts and dreams

Yet my thinking could be taken as a questionable in what it seems

Gun Bullets kill and don’t know innocent until proven guilty

Racism has turned backed time

I am considered a threat

I have done nothing wrong, but I am trying to stay upbeat

Perhaps Racism doesn’t matter to others

But it matters to me

My skin color is all that the world sees

I am a Black Man with inspiration and hope in what life should be

As a Black Man the opposition wants my voice to be silent

Everywhere I turn there is continued violence

I pray to the Lord

This battle is not mine to fight in God’s accord

I wonder at times if I will be killed on any night being the plight

Perhaps my sunrise will be darkened with no light

I could become another statistic

As a Black Man I must think realistic

But I must believe hopeful and have Faith

This is all a Black Man has

My cries come in multitudes

But just like a Book from beginning to end might be my conclude

I just want peace in soothe

I have nothing to prove

I deserve a promised life

God said it himself in giving advice

Lord I know and see

But the world keeps focusing on we

Time reversed

I read biblical scriptures verse by verse

My Faith in action in rehearse

Believe in me the way I believe in myself

My name is not assumption

I am no combustion?

I am a Black Man comprising of essence

But God has given me understanding and wisdom to cherish

The world might find that surprising

As a Black Man the thought is energizing

My Death could very well be this day

Yet I am faithful in every way

I stand with one voice being one dream

I am looking out over a moving running stream

Life is not important if one doesn’t open up to God

Embrace respect and no anger steam

The world knows very well what I mean

I am a Black Man created by God

Standing on Faith and Redemption

I am that Black Man today and forever
