What Is Black to Me? (in the style of Countee Cullen)
Location
What is Black to me:
Urban sprawl or bliss country
Jheri curl or Afro puff,
Taste of freedom or a silver handcuff
Brothers whose chains shine bright
When King made his last speech that rainy night?
Four centuries in this land
Prickly cotton piercing our black hands
Northern hope, Southern plea,
What is Black to me?
