Black Is Me Poem by Kingsley Egbukole
Black Is Me
The soil, Black
That habours the seed
And gives it life to man
The crude
The coal
Of earth's heart
And the economy of man
The black of the night
All conquering
That changes all to its shade
And respite in sleep
This, this
Is the beauty of me, and kin
The resilience that saw,
That suffered,
That conquered
The planned extinction
Of the noble shade in slavery.
