With a soul white as the heaven
Purely innocent with emptiness
To photograph an imprint
Of a rhythm and blues
To a gospel and Jazz
From the rhythm of my mother’s love
To the bass tone of my father’s voice
Placing a rhythmatic in the walk
Even in the talk
Gives conception to my black soul
The essence of my heritage
A waiting patiently to be filled
As a sponge soaking up water
Or a pot to be filled
With those soulfully ingredients
A seat of sentimental
To breathe life ethnically and culturally
Rejuvenation a reverence
Which is said institutionalized from slavery
An expression of passion
That cultivates this black soul
To the music of Neo soul, reggae, R&B, to Hip Hop
To a filling of the kitchen table
With soul food cuisines
It is the history
Of black wisdom
Even old wise tales
That births a black soul
In a Carmel complexion

A Brown Complexion But A Black Soul

Touching!!! Life can be complex, even in understanding
and embracing ourselves.
It's very important; as you have noted:
to acknowledge what we know to be real
what we've grown to appreciate.
Great write

Your words explain me. Your insight is inspiring... have you seen Django? The placing of our ancestor's state upon a viewing platter for the world too see sickened me.
