together

That voice of yours, so deep,
the walk you have is so you.
You’re my man and you are Black
and I give to you, your due.

That skin of yours, so dark.
Those lips of yours, so perfect.
You’re my man and you are Black
and I give to you, my respect.

Those eyes of yours, so brown.
Those teeth of yours, so white.
You’re my man and you are Black
and you look good enough to bite.

That back of yours, so muscular,
those shoulders of yours, so strong.
You’re my man and you are Black
and together, we can’t go wrong!

Don’t think this is all about sex,
Look in my eyes and know the truth.
You’re my man and you are Black
and together, we must raise our youth.

The heat from your body
must never grow cold to my touch.
You’re my man and you are Black
and you must know, I love you so much!

I send this one out to ALL my strong Black brothers! I want you to know that I love you ALL! There are none in this world like you and though they try and emasculate you, not all of you will buy into the bullshit and for those of you that stay true to who you are, this one’s for you. I love you!

I am an advocate for the poverty stricken, homeless, hungry, voiceless people who are considered to be the 'unwashed' masses but whom I consider to be the unsung heroes for surviving a never ending battle waged against them in the form of poverty wages, no benefits, living paycheck to paycheck, needing medical coverage while employed, trying to feed their families on stagnant wages that have not kept pace with inflated prices. And so the battle continues.....

      2. You are most definitely sincere in stating that because it is not the first time that you’ve made that suggestion. I will give it much thought. It is just that right now, I am unable to get started because so much is going on.

        And I know, I know, we all put things off and maybe, I should just say what the hell and heap something else onto my plate.

        Again, I thank you for the suggestion. It means much to me as I hope you know!

  3. We love you too. I always love it when the black females who genuinely care for black men say this and there are definitely many of us men out there for whom you all are our number one choice. I plan to eventually settle with a black woman and there are others who feel this way. K.P. nailed it when he said we need each other more than ever.

    1. N.S., with all that is going down today, what with police brutality, almost two million Black men incarcerated on some bullshit charges, it is way past time that someone spoke up to show love for the Black man and Black woman. I honor each and every one of you and I love the strength you possess. To continue on in the face of so much hate is quite a feat. Me and other Black sistas just want you to know that we are here for you and we got your back! Never doubt it. You are NOT alone in this!

      I thank you for your comment!
