Black History Month Spotlight

So, for my final Black History Month post I decided to do something different. I decided to share something I wrote myself. I started working on this poem a couple of weeks ago and maybe I was unconsciously inspired by Black History Month. I didn't have a title for it but after reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X, I came up with:

The Creation of A Nation

It is not just our hands ...
It is our feet
It is our depth
It is our tongue
It is our breath
It is our chest
It is our heart
It is our strive
It is our strength
It is our vision
It is our goal
It is our thought
It is our soul
It is our laugh
It is our gums
It is our life
It is our love
