Analysis of Black Fantasy



BLACK FANTASY
BLACK!
Being BLACK is an honor dad said
We, I grew up getting paid to be one's maid
We grew up with less or no education
Further we shall go that was our declaration
We got where we are because of our dedication
But you my child are to make nations tremble when they hear your name
For you would have gained all the fame
Top of your game and much further you were bound to aim
You shall be the dark skies which hold a thousand stars
Your elegance will be glowing, overflowing and not enough to fit in a million jars
You will be BLACK and you will be honored still
For you are not fake but are being real
Your beauty to them a huge deal
And your courageous and brave character they cannot steal
You are made of brown soil, gold, glitter and the beauty of a thousand galaxies
Greater and much more wiser than earth's majesties
You my darling are a black fantasy
Those who have eyes will admire what they see
Precious you are as a lotus that dwells in the see
And even long after you are gone your name they will not forget
BLACK FANTASY.
