    A SEED OF ABRAHAM

    A seed of Abraham, that's who I am
    Father of the nation, an original black man.
    Here I stand with my children by my side
    They're the apple of my eyes, the object of my pride.
    As they grow I care for them, love them, protect them
    Making sure their needs are met, for these are my children.
    Teaching them the morals that were instilled in me
    Their roots, their foundation, their originality.
    African love from the black side, African beauty
    True Kings, true Queens, they're true royalty.
    Loving oneself for you are who you are
    Chasing your goals and your dreams, reaching for that star.
    Never giving up hope, always aspiring
    Never losing your drive, always uprising.
    Leaving all ignorance and arrogance behind
    Choosing wisdom and knowledge, understanding your climb.
    When reaching for the top, all your fears you shed them
    All these gifts I have to give, for these are my children.

    I'm a man who is very proud of his heritage and would above all things, appreciate it if my kids would embrace their culture as much as i do. I thank you for your comments and i agree with your views. But the fact remains that I am a blackman, and i am viewed as such by society on a majority. I am even discriminated against because of this fact.. Knowing this, i cherish who i am even more.. As previously stated i agree with your views but i also LOVE my heritage.. thanks again.. have a blessed day..
