1st Black man in the White House
Posted On 11/27/08 @ 01:28 AM by Dirtywork54
The 1st Black man in
the White House 
Excuse me, may I have your full attention, before I get started I’d just like to mention,
That I’m a Born Again Christian, now wait a minute, that’s not your queue to stop listening,
Until you hear exactly what I’m about to say. Things are about to change here today! 
Today for the first time in our history, we elected our First Black man as President.
It’s not a mystery the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue will have... Read More



LOST & FOUND IDENTITY
Posted On 09/07/08 @ 09:40 AM by Slendah
Since coming to America
After traveling so far
We've lost our true identity
And now don't know who we are;

We've been thoroughly mis-educated
Taught a false reality
In an attempt to change our thought process
To a slave mentality;

This is part of our punishment
For not listening to God
Because of our disobedience
Our lives are extremely hard;

We're the only group in America
Stripped from whence we came
They deprived us of our history

IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Posted On 08/31/08 @ 11:30 AM by Slendah
What's the matter with black children of today
It seems these poor souls have lost their way;

It's sad to see a whole generation lost
After their ancestors paid an outrageous cost;

Sisters becoming hoochies, brothers becoming thugs
Living a life of prostitution and drugs;

Babies having babies, black-on-black crime
Headed for a life of, "Brother can you spare a dime?"

It's time to educated them, so teachers start teaching
It's time to motivate them, so... Read More



FREEDOM TORCH
Posted On 08/25/08 @ 04:32 PM by Slendah
Our heritage is a proud one
We descend from Kings and Queens
But we were ripped from our homeland
Treated like animals, not human beings;

As slaves we built this country
Known as the US of A
It's through our blood, our swear and tears
America's become what it is today;

Our struggle still continues
But we'll reach that mountain top
Our ancestors passed us the freedom torch
And we date not let it drop.

This was the first afrocentric poem that I eve... Read More



INVENTIONS
Posted On 08/24/08 @ 05:42 PM by Slendah
Elevator
Typewriter
Lawn Mower
Shoe
Without these great inventions
What on Earth would we do?

Roller Coaster
Helicopter
Pacemaker
Mop
The list of great inventions
Just never seem to stop;

Refrigerator
Gas Mask
Toilet
Bicycle Frame
Though each item differs
There's one thing that's the same;

Each item was created
By inventors who were black
Thanks to their innovation
There is nothing that we lack.
