OUTPOURINGS

I am black by design Proud of it by choice The workings of my mind Are echoed in my voice

A voice seeking to be heard Its message very clear With every spoken word I affirm that I am here

To shape my own destiny With fairness to every man In the pursuit of equality According to my maker's plan

Though many have tried Presenting many obstacles I will not be denied Fortitude fills my testicles

Every challenge I overcome Is a testament to my will To be the best I can become My full potential to fullfil

Though detractors there may be Wishing that I would fail I continue striding relentlessly This journey no man can curtail
