i, the black man

after much inner deliberation, i have decided to make this poem my first post it is a poem i wrote after completing an essay on race and gender specifically the black  male. now i do not assume to speak for ALL black men, however, what i write or wrote may resonate with a few. without any more long talk see below:

i, the black man.

i, the Black Man, represents oppressor and oppressed

at the same time,

unable to hide

not heard or seen (at times)

the ultimate cool

an object of fear

a lone figure on a background of white

men, am I a minority, am I angry?

hell yeah...hell no!

a phenomenon

a shepherd and a sheep

enter dialogue with me and see

what I'm feeling, feel what I’m seeing

being a Black Man is not all that I am.
