Judgement of the Black man

The white man looked him in the face
my black brother did not stir

The white man shouted,roared,beat and kicked him
my black brother did not tremble

In his eyes there kindled flames
of rage,dried tears,of force
My black brother did not stir,did not answer,did not tremble

In his steady eyes there kindled the flame
of a force which only the black man knows
