BLACK IS BEAUTY

    Hi guys,
    how are you doing today

    Today I’ll be sharing with you my recent artwork created with ballpen and charcoal on paper.


    ————— BLACK IS BEAUTY —————-


    Black is Beautiful,
    ‎Black is the rhythm, the drum, the beat,
    ‎The fire that rises in endless defeat.
    ‎Black is the skin kissed deep by the sun,
    ‎The story of kings and queens undone.
    ‎Black is the mark of the ancient
    ‎That shows the root our culture
    ‎The symbols of the ancestors
    ‎That held us as one.

    ‎Black is Beautiful,
    ‎Black is the art, the song, the rhyme,
    ‎The echo of voices defying time.
    ‎Black is the glow in a mother’s eyes,
    ‎The strength of a people who never die.

    ‎But Black is hunted, silenced, stilled,
    ‎A body broken, a dream unfulfilled.
    ‎Black is hands raised, yet still a threat,
    ‎A name forgotten, a nation’s regret.
    ‎Black is beautiful but seen as a threat
    ‎Black is beautiful but is called darkness
    ‎Black is tagged the color of the devil,
    ‎Seen as enemies to mankind...

    ‎Black is beautiful, bold and bright,
    ‎Yet Black is killed in the dead of night.
    ‎Still, Black will rise, unchained, unbowed,
    ‎A storm, a light, a voice too loud.
