When The Saints Go Marching In




THE BLACKNESS OF MY BLACKNESS


The Blackness of my Blackness is that I’m not open to others

The Blackness of my Blackness is that I have one sister but no brothers

The Blackness of my Blackness is that I can’t choose from two different colors

The Blackness of my Blackness is that I tell the truth and you’re just a bluffer

The Blackness of my Blackness is that I never saw a dove

The Blackness of my Blackness is that I want to go above

The Blackness of my Blackness is that I will never rap as good as Mr. Hova

  1. Great poem sean i think that just like your poem the saints go marching in also has a hidden note of sadness in it though it is not openly expressed
