I WILL SHOUT

OUR NATURAL RESOURCES...,

EVEN AS THEY EXPLOIT,

WE STILL HAVE MORE

 

OUR WAY OF THINKING...,

EVEN AS THEY INDOCTRINATE,

WE STILL STAND CONCIOUS,

 

OUR LIVES...,

EVEN AS THEY OPPRESS,

WE STILL HAVE PRIDE

 

I AM BLACK,

I MIGHT LACK,

UNDER PRESSURE I MIGHT CRACK,

IN THE CROWD,

I HAVE VOWED,

I WILL SHOUT,

"I AM AN AFRICAN."

FOR I AM PROUD,

Say it loud and proud. I AM.

I would love to see the end of oppression. This is a really fantastic poem showing black pride! Consider entering this or having it published. Very moving and says it all.
