Riches he doesn’t have
Luxurious life he wished he had
A woman whose understanding
A relationship that is withstanding
A job that is fulfilling
Being a Black Man is like having a curse
All the negativity needs a reverse
Being a Black Man goes beyond fact
But that’s how society see’s the Black Man being exactly like that
It’s the Black Man in sorrow
It’s a wonder if the Black Man knows he has a tomorrow
Survival seeming like a war
Assumption having no ambition to go far
The Black Man is considered a nut
Yet, it is the Black Man stuck in his own rut
There is no theory surrounding but
The Black Man needs to build up his own self-esteem
It doesn’t require any Black Man to be mean
Society will never do
In fact, they don’t intend to
The Black Man has every right to be mad
But he should not be sad
The labelling has a following that has been said for years
The Black Man doesn’t deserve to preserver
It’s the Black Man that must always have fear
The society doesn’t want the Black Man near
The Black Man’s life is considered like a novel page tear
If the Black Man doesn’t exist, there is no missing page
In essence, the Black Man has a right to have rage
But the Black Man can change in life and rearrange
The Black Man has the power to repair with principles in amend.
