*The Black behind White*

We praise the moon: so serene, so lovely,

while the sun has given it the beauty and the light.

We praise the pearl for its exquisite resplendence,

 never credit the droplet which lays in shell day-night.

The rose is adored as the expression of love,

the import of thorns are stemmed from the fight.

The mansion glitters vivid for the stunned elites,

Simplicity flatters the lesser mortals’ plight.

The sonnet of success swells his pride,

The woman behind his HIMness is out of his sight.

Gawking, blazing, bluffing, imbuing at times,

‘Tis Lord’s land: so big, so wide!

Live, Grow, Erupt, Flourish, Fly, Thrive

but Learn to laud the Black behind the White.
