    WHO SAYS (A BROTHA CANT DO SHAKESPEARE)

    Black_shake

    to stir the griots slumber

    his heart weighted by woe 

    once torn asunder

    to have laughter and merriment

    fill his weary ears

    and abate the putrid taste of yesteryears

     

    to see his rise once not predicted

    to peer into his confident eyes

    where once conflicted

    to hear his voice now strong with pirde

    to know he will fight never again to hide

     

    and what of this simple man will compel

    a man who found beauty whilst  

    decaying in hell

    to sound the alarm and give ample warning

    the man who once was is not this morning

     

    so walk away while given the chance

    for this man hath partaken in the devils dance

    and though he speaks of love unbound

    hatred  once the harmony of his life

    he remembers the sound

     

    let this man speak in silence

    for he walks alone

    a path few will dare to build a new home

    for within his soul he hath but one demand

    if you sayeth i am black

    capitalize the man
