From my ex, Tico
To Black Man
A Poem for You!
The truth of the matter is
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man
Whether five-two or six-seven
Yellow fabulous or chocolate heaven
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man
Long and lean
With deep brown eyes
Wavy hair of dreds
With strong thick thighs
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man
Bald head with goatee
Cornrows or a fade
A little thick, a little thin
Oh, the choices to be made
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man
Scholarly or not
Wall Street or hip hop
I'll sing your praises
To the mountain top
Head of the home
Provider and love
Obedience on and loving brother
There's nothing more beautiful
Than a black man
A mighty provider you've proven to be
Sacrificing your life to keep me free
Working for crumbs
When the table is bare
Praising the Lord
Leading the family in prayer
There is nothing more beautiful
Than a black man
Holding my hand
When fear emerges
Remaining faithful, suppressing your urges
Providing your strength
