    TOO BLACK, TOO STRONG
    "THE LAND OF THE ORIGINAL MAN"

    To be born of African heritage
    is to be born of the original man
    Skin is dark as the depths of Africa
    while strength was laid in hand
    Eyes are like those of a raging bull
    Proudest of tribe with features that are full
    Body empowered with a spiritual soul
    which can't be bought, taken or sold
    Knowledged with wisdom from which God has bestowed
    Yes! I'm proud to be born of the original man

    Thank You Father

    Hey man, nice to see someone is strong and proud of where they come from. In this messed up and confused world, we're never good enough. Never our colors pleases certain eyes, so power to you.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
