Ode to Blackness

                   Ode to Blackness

                   Many attribute this ode to my being Black,



                   But if this be ode

                   ...Like I said before...

                   But if this ode is to be attributed

                   To my being



                   Then it must,

                   ...I say, ...include my being white



                   For in all Blackness, I am you, He,

                   and the Other One

                   For in all Blackness, in all truth,

                   "I" does not exist - We are one

                   Therefore we exist - Created in the image of God



                   Is not the reflection

                   ...I said, as I said before...

                   Is not the reflection equal to it's casting image?



                   Therefore God is, and we are not

                   ...I said and I say, and as I said before...

                   Therefore God is, and we are not



                   All praises be to God

                   God is love - Let us learn from this love and we will find God



                   Sex is not love

                   ...I said as I said, and I say as I said before...

                   Sex is not love

                   Murder is not love - Murder is not love

                   Charity is not love - Enslavement is not love

                   Handed down freedom is not love - Tho' true love is free from

                   bondage

                   So let us find self in quest for love

                   There we find God
