    Poem Commentary

    This poem is for my people to wake up (love one another), not to put anyone down or go on a rampage or a hate tip to anyone. God loved the world (of all people)so much that he gave his only begotton Son.  Now that's for real.

    BLACK FLAG

     BLACK FLAG

    Black Flag
    I wear it proud
    The color of my hair
    Definition of who I am
    It bubbles inside of me
    The wonderful me
    When I wear my textured locks
    Black Flag
    When I cover my plump lips with gloss
    Black Flag
    I am what I am
    Ashamed of nothing
    The width of my nose
    My eyes are where they should be
    No one can carry my Flag but me
    I may be colored, nigress or black to you
    Your stupidity
    I don't live on th past of slavery
    But I know where I'm from
    We can only move forward
    When-
    My brothers and sisters will do their part
    To carry the Black Flag from the heart
    Blacks hating on Blacks
    Robbing, killing, bulleying
    Putting each other down
    Abuse and neglect
    Calling each other hateful names
    Their ashamed!
    -Of who they are
    Trying to fill the mold of others
    Yeah the white man
    I said it
    I mean it
    Don't regret it
    Now don't get me wrong
    I'm not prejudice
    Many are my friends
    They know me
    Gold loves all men
    And I do too
    But right is right
    And wrong is wrong
    You know that's true
    Black flag
    Don't fear no one
    Don't be afraid to be you
    Just be yourself
    Learn to live with one another
    Black people be strong
    I carry mine every day
    My Black Flag is here to stay

    A very powerful piece, Applepie. There is nothing wrong with being who you are. That's what makes you special. One of the things I like about this site is we all share the world of poetry. Black or white, it doesn't matter here. I like your poetry and and am honored to have you as a friend. Never be afraid to speak your mind. TS

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
