Is Black love what went on in the slave`s quarters, in quiet defiance ofthe Master`s orders. The only way to marry was to jump a broom, and latershred tears of joy, yet despair for the child growing inner womb.
A life spent trying to keep a family together and off the selling block forever. Not wanting to become another strange fruit hanging from the vine,a lifeless body killed way before it`s time.
Was their struggle that kept their Black love strong, in the face of
adversity while trying to prove the white man wrong? Maybe it was the
spiritual healing of amazing grace that soothed and inspired overcoming all the obstacles they faced.
"Come by here my lord" they sang and prayed is that why their Black love lasted and stayed?
The Black love of today...
What is Black love like away from the eyes of the watchful Master why are today`s Black love relationships in a state of natural disaster? Why are Black men leaving when they`re not being forced from their home, this time they`re leaving their loved ones through the choice of their own? Have we given up the desire to keep our families and communities together, will this mass confusion last forever? We`re not marrying but creating babies momma`s beautiful, black babies being born into a real life dramas. A million Nubian men in Washington, thousands of sista`s in Philly Penn and we still couldn`t put it back together again.
Come by here my lord we need to sing and pray and help rectify this
situation before Judgment Day.
