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
