Beautiful Black Man

Beautiful black man

With skin dark like the black night

Smooth with curves that show their glow

Like the Nile your skin flows on your body for miles and miles

Reflecting the moon light that every night shines

Like the Ebony Tree standing up straight and never shy

Of your skin, your colour that you were born with and will die

Working hard all day and night

Under the burning sun never tired

Supporting yourself, your family, your life

The sun stands amazed of your sight

Gazing on your well power and might

How can you stand that heat that burning light?

But still you stand strong, never weak, never tired

Your sweat drops on your black skin till the night

Your hands full with blisters of hard work but still you smile

"This is life" you say

"I do this for the generation after me"

"An honest job is what you have to seek"

"And these hands are loved by GOD in the highest peak"

My beautiful black man

I wonder where you were.

And how I never saw you and why?

My beautiful ebony man

With that beautiful skin of yours

------ Black is beautiful
