Short Poems for Black History Month

Black Is Beautiful
In history, black
is beautiful when told with
complex purity.
______________
The Chain
Some stories are kept a secret
Their words are hard to hear
And subjects harsh, as in them
People appear
Yet, if left untold, the truth
Will distort and damage reality
And make innocent victims look
like viscous enemies
For this reason, let the tales
Of all men be spoken, so
The chain connecting humanity
can never be broken
______________
Malcolm's X
Malcolm's X
Dissected two color lines
By any means necessary
Until his travels took him to a higher realm
That allowed them to cross
In history, black
is beautiful when told with
complex purity.
