BEING BLACK IS WHERE IT'S AT!
by Vernon J. Davis Jr.


Being Black is where it's at

Aren't You hip to that

Being Black is being creative

Being Black is what You do

Being Black is everything!

If Being Black is a part of You

And isn't that, Being Black?






You see, Blackness in experience is

Blackness Divine

Blackness of expression is Blackness

Of your mind

So total awareness is a rising Black

Sign

And isn't that, where it's at?






So be proud of Being Black

Because Black is where it's at

Be proud of Being YOU

Because You are Black

Be proud of Being proud

So as to lift up your mind

And isn't that, Being Black?






Being Black is where it's at

Aren't You hip to that

Being Black is Being Beautiful

Being Black is Being Divine

Being Black is Being Love

Being Black is Being Fine

And isn't that, where it's at?






Realize this, that Black is here

And Black is now

The world is affected by Black Style

Black is Life

Black is Eternal

Yet... realization is still for a while

Because we are not

Where we ought to be

We are not

Living within the realms of

Reality

Our Dreams are bigger than our means

Of attainment






However...

We are Black

And Being Black

Is where it's at!!!



©1978,1981 & 2005 Vernon J. Davis Jr.



P.S.

I thought you know that

Being Black...

Is where it's at! ;)

A rousing call to all who consider themselves black to think positive and act like it because black can be "in" as well. There certainly is a lot of hype about Black Panther, but I've been seeing a lot of really great black productions on television and in the movies already going back to when Sidney Poitier started breaking stereotypes.

Welcome to the den.

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
