Title: We Are Beautiful Post by: Bantu_Kelani on January 07, 2005, 10:27:09 PM Don't ever
Let anyone tell you We’re not beautiful. Without a Shadow of a doubt. We are one of God's Most magnificent creations. With a set of lips full As the moon On a clear, star-filled night. Full nose, lining a smile That can brighten the world- And change it. So many skin stones of brown From high yellow To deep purple black. So beautiful and proud of crown- Kinky, curly, black, and all browns. Brothers and sisters in naturals, Wearing those cornrows, Braids, and locks with dignity. Magnificent wonders form the chiseled, Masculine features Of the modern-day pharaohs To the multidimensional curves Of today's heir apparent of every queen In African history. We are overwhelmed with pride As we look in the mirror, And when we see other people of color, We smile.. Because we see ourselves. Derrick Barnes.
