The Pain of a Black Man (By Naomi Johnson)
For hundreds of years the black man has been
crying with inner tears,
striped from his manly dignity and identity, his
self love has been ripped.
He witnesses over again his son’s body being
lynched in the enemy’s clench,
and his daughter suffering great pain from being raped and
spiritually slain.
The black man harbors a lot of anguish that tugs on his tarnished
soul,
But his divine
love fights to keep him whole.
His strength of an ox allows him to stand strong
To carry the
burdened until freedom comes along.
He remains firm in his faith even when he is
being whipped ,
As blood from his skin dripped.
With his limbs decapitated, he is not
physically stagnated.
The black man endures years of
deception and rejection
in every place because
of his colored face.
Yet his will power of determination
make him over look discrimination.
Century’s of captivity as a slave have scarred
him with enslaved views that are bound in his mind.
In spite of all the hardship he endures, his
inner godly peace sustains him from grief.
No other race can explain the endurance of a
black man’s pain
He hides inside and injustice resides.
Still the black man’s soul struggles to runs
free and his humble ways makes his strength a mystery.
He exemplifies a true hero of life and unpleasant
strife, but his faith continues to rise.
Yet he has a spiritual majestic power that
shines from his eyes.
